NEC will welcome guests to its exhibit in Hall 2, Stand 2H40 to discuss how it’s helping to accelerate innovation via open networks and promoting global digital transformation that can deliver social value.

MWC will be the first global event to feature NEC’s "Truly Open, Truly Trusted" brand vision in which the organization reaffirms its commitment to initiatives, such as Open RAN, that seek to level the playing field for everyone. The "Truly Open, Truly Trusted" ethos invites NEC employees, customers, partners and the entire community to rally around the concept of openness to drive innovation and maximize the positive impact we can all make on society while delivering technologies that benefit everyone.

"NEC has been very busy over the past couple of years spreading the word about Open RAN, Open xHaul transport and the benefits that open networks and virtualized ecosystems and microservices can deliver to operators. Most operators who are deploying Open wireless networks now are working with us in some capacity and we’re eager to continue those collaborations and introduce others to the benefits they can realize with a full commitment to open interfaces, open collaboration and partnerships," said Atsuo Kawamura, Executive Vice President, NEC Corporation.

Visitors to the NEC stand will be introduced to a range of technologies and solutions that are part of the NEC Open Networks suite, first introduced at MWC 2022. This suite is comprised of the industry’s widest range of Open RAN radio units, the recently launched vRAN, 5G xHaul Transport and a range of Open Optical Transport solutions, a 4G/5G Converged Core and end-to-end System Integration services.

In addition to this portfolio, NEC will be featuring a series of demonstrations focused on some of the issues that are most pressing for operators looking to deploy 5G networks. The demos include an Energy Consumption Optimization app, from NEC’s new windowAspire Technologies, along with a demonstration of our Converged Core running in a fully cloud-native environment. NEC solutions can also be found outside of the NEC booth, as well, featured on the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) stand (Hall 5, Stand 5A40) as well as on a couple of our partners’ stands.
