New Technology by NEC allowing consumer to talk to their Household Appliances
NEC has announced the development of speech recognition technologies that would allow household electronics to be controlled via voice commands through a combination of noise cancellation and speech enhancement technologies developed by the company. The new technology would allow devices to reliably operate by voice through an interface and microphones that accurately recognizes individual’s voice. The new technology would extend the accuracy of voice recognition even in a noisy environment. The new technology would allow navigation system to overcome background noise and accurately detect voice commands from driver of a moving vehicle. Read more
Development of Large Scale Video Processing Technologies by NEC
NEC has announced the development of video surveillance technologies enabling three times more coverage, offering efficient analysis of video using multiple surveillance cameras. The new technologies are capable of processing advance video analysis such as facial recognition as well as human identification three times more efficiently than conventional technologies on a single server. The new technologies were tested on video surveillance systems covering large areas which analyze information on people characteristics, including facial features, clothing features as well as suspicious behaviors.

Development of a New High Capacity Trunk Microwave Communication System by NEC
NEC has released a new high capacity trunk microwave communications systems, the 5000iP series, offering 1.6 times the transmission capacity over the existing 5000S systems by NEC. The new 5000iP Series supports full packet networking suitable for long-haul communications of up to 50 Km between metropolitan to mountainous areas, where it is difficult to lay optical cable. The new systems will strengthen trunk networks for LTE as well as 4G communications. The new systems enable high capacity transmission of 400Mbps to 4Gbps. Read more
Development of Video Identification Technology Capable of Rapidly Locating Video Clips by Extracting Video Signature
NEC has released new video identification software capable of instantly locating video clips from within vast collection of video data. The way it works is that the software extracts a so called “finger print” otherwise know as video signature of video clips that are matched with other video signatures for locating scenes quickly and accurately. This software is also capable of finding out whether the video was altered; such as by capture overlays, resolution conversion, brightness conversion as well as bootleg recordings, helping organization such as television broadcasters, content holders, research companies as well as video-sharing to automate and streamline their video confirmation procedures instead of relying purely on human observation, which has a high error factor among other drawbacks.

NEC Unveils an Ultra-thin Organic Battery for IC cards
NEC has unveiled a prototype of an Ultra-thin organic radical battery (ORB) with thickness of only 0.3mm which can be used in standard IC cards of 0.76mm thick. ORB rechargeable batteries offers greater flexibility, higher power output and faster recharging speeds than existing rechargeable batteries, including lithium-ion batteries. The new ORB has been manufactured using printing technologies to integrate circuit boards with batteries, enabling negative electrodes to be directly formed on the circuit boards. Read more
Release of Traffic Optimizing Solution Customizing Delivery of Data for Individual Devices by NEC
NEC has announced the launch of “Traffic Optimizing Solution”, a content delivery traffic optimizer for smartphone. The newly released content delivery traffic optimizer is capable of reducing network traffic for telecom carriers by optimizing transmission volume of video data, compressing text and optimizing static images to fit specific mobile device capabilities as well as wireless environments.

First Demonstration of Terabit Level Transmission over 10,000 Km from a single Laser Source by NEC
NEC has announced the first successful demonstration of 1.15 TB/s ultra-long haul optical transmissions over 10,000 Km distance using optical superchannel technology. The demonstration involved transmission of four superchannel together by wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in order to achieve a total capacity of 4 Tb/s and a spectral efficiency of 3.6 b/s/Hz all from a single laser source. The demonstration is major step toward practical application of high-capacity transmission for transoceanic communication using cost-effective superchannel technology. Optical superchannels enable efficient bandwidth utilization, resulting in higher spectral efficiency and higher data rate per laser through parallelization. Read more
Development of Super-Resolution Technologies for Surveillance Industry by NEC
NEC has announced the development of super-resolution technologies that enables the high magnification of surveillance camera images which includes individuals’ faces or vehicles license plates. Up to now magnifying an image by the order of more than 2 or 3 times would cause blurring of the image which is 4 to 9 times the number of pixels. Read more
Development of Mobile Terminal Communication Control Technology to Reduce Transmission Overload by NEC
NEC has announced the development of a new communication control technology for networks and mobile terminals to reduce transmission overload. Up to now the mobile communication provider use mobile data offload in order to deal with increases in cellular network traffic from such technologies as 3G and LTE, where it automatically switches wireless connection from cellular networks to other type of high-speed wireless networks, such as WLAN, when they become available. But one of the issues with this method is that WLAN connections are frequently lost due to limited coverage, plus security is not as robust in comparison to cellular networks. Read more
