25th January 2005 - NEC Corporation announced
today that the sales of its point-to-point wireless
access system "PASOLINK" recorded over
200 thousand system in total for the global market.
NEC launched its first PASOLINK product in the
mid 1980s, supplying 18GHz PASOLINK systems to
a leading telecom operator in UK. Since then,
business has expanded to a worldwide scale. Recently,
due to the rapid expansion of mobile networks,
many operators deploy PASOLINK to connect radio
base stations to speedily facilitate rapid and
simple installation of mobile infrastructure.
Sales of NEC's PASOLINK exceeded 50,000 units
in FY 2000, 110,000 units up to the beginning
of FY2003. The number has rapidly expanded recently
due to the large-scale, long-term contract with
mobile operators not only in Europe but also other
countries such as China, Russia and India which
recorded over 200,000 as in December 2004. The
rapid growth of the business is attributable to
NEC's long-standing experience, competence, advanced
and high-quality technologies, and its leading
position in the global microwave communication
systems market. Currently NEC holds leading position
in this market.

PASOLINK is chiefly designed for telecom carriers'
backhaul, business and emergency networks. It offers
simple and highly reliable fixed wireless solutions.
PASOLINK is a PDH/SDH microwave system which offers
a variety of systems to cover small to large capacity
requirements. The systems operate at various radio frequency
bands ranging from 4 to 52 GHz and a maximum traffic
capacity of 2 X 155 Mbps. It is applicable to various
solutions such as mobile network infrastructure to connect
base stations, business user links, private networks,
LAN/WAN interconnection and back up for optical fiber
networks. NEC's PASOLINK allows for simple installation,
speedy service introduction and, efficient and economical
solutions for day-to-day transmission as well as emergency
situations.
NEC offers a wide range of PASOLINK series, that is,
PASOLINK, PASOLINK Mx and PASOLINK+. PASOLINK features
Ethernet interface functions and adds ATPC (Automatic
Transmitter Power Control) functions to further improve
transmission quality. PASOLINK Mx features the world's
largest capacity of 80 Mbps (40 x 2 Mbps) within the
bandwidth of 28 MHz by 16QAM. It enables the easy and
rapid expansion of broadband and mobile network infrastructure
such as 3rd generation (3G) and mobile multimedia application
services, without disrupting the current licensed bandwidth.
The new product employs DSP technology-based spectrum
shaping and 16QAM modulation to realize the large capacity.
PASOLINK+ features to cover the large capacity (STM-1
- 2xSTM-1) with narrow bandwidth(28MHz bandwidth by
128QAM modulation). It contributes to effective use
of frequency band.
NEC will continue to expand its PASOLINK business to
meet the demands of emerging 3G, mobile internet and
IP network markets to gain a leading position in the
mobile solution arena.
