NEC Iberica today announced that it has established a VAS (Value Added Service) technical centre in Spain to reinforce Fixed and Mobile VAS in the region. The centre will offer telecom operators a platform for their consumers to access a range of VAS to mobile applications, including mobile internet, messaging, video streaming and navigation.
The VAS technical centre, as the central Hub of Europe, is to have links with Japan, allowing new NGN/SDP based value added services developed in Japan, to reach the European market. These links with the European hub will ensure customers in the region benefit from NEC's R&D. Most importantly it will allow a solid understanding of European culture, its VAS requirements, what the end user wants and its business environment and trends which may be different from Japan. The key outcome of this will be to bring business synergy to Europe, says NEC.
Mr. Jaime Serrano, General Manager of NEC Ibérica says: "NEC has a deep understanding and a track record of outstanding performance in project execution in this area. We have been delivering a range of VAS to mobile applications via our platforms to more than 50 million users worldwide. NEC's VAS Technical Centre in Europe will bring even more business benefits to our customers by providing revenue generating VAS and CAPEX/OPEX reduction."
Serrano continues: " NEC is committed to providing first rate Fixed and Mobile converged service provisioning in Europe. Through this technical centre NEC is able to prove its important and innovative role in developing new services around fixed and mobile broadband."
