NEC demonstrates transport technology
and solutions at InnoTrans 2016

Tokyo, September 14,
2016 – NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced its
participation in InnoTrans 2016, one of the transport
industry’s main international events for demonstrating transport technology and
solutions.  InnoTrans 2016 will be held from the 20th – 23rd
September at
Messe Berlin GmbH, ExpoCenter City.

Recent years have seen an increasing
focus within the Public Transport industry on delivering both better services
and better returns on investment. At InnoTrans 2016, NEC will address these
trends by showcasing innovative solutions and services, such as transportation
management systems (TMS) that can be delivered from the cloud. This relatively
new approach to service delivery in Public Transport is gaining a great deal of
attention as public transportation authorities (PTA) and public transportation
operators (PTO) learn how they can quickly roll out new, open architecture
services with a minimum of investment. In addition to cloud services, NEC will
also introduce a new facial recognition solution for passenger safety, E-paper
passenger information displays, as well as REFLEX –
a bus optimization software solution that improves service regularity and
punctuality by computing real-time control measures for an entire fleet.

“We are very excited to show that in
addition to great technologies, new service models also bring value to our
customers,” said Elsa Wong, Managing Director of the NEC Transport Centre of
Excellence. “In these times of uncertainty and austerity, the whole industry
needs to be looking at new approaches to improving service levels and customer
experience. NEC believes that service and subscription models are the way
forward.”

NEC will exhibit at InnoTrans 2016 in
Hall 6.1, Stand 310 from the 20th – 23rd September at Messe Berlin GmbH, ExpoCenter City.
