NEC Wins Cisco Enterprise Partner of the Year, U.S. & Canada

As posted in our online newsroom this week, NEC Corporation of America (NEC) is the proud recipient of Cisco’s Enterprise Partner of the Year award for the regional theater covering the United States and Canada. Cisco unveiled the winners, awarded for their performance during Cisco’s fiscal 2009, on April 28 at its annual channel partner conference in San Francisco.

We believe our focus on vertical industries and the role of end users has given us an edge as we counsel customers on the business issues that matter most to them. Some examples of this focus in recent years include:

In addition to aligning our vertical business and technical expertise to meet the needs of customers, we’ve also worked hard to maintain and grow our Cisco partnership by investing in the necessary training and resources. Some of the milestones we reached along the way include:

  • Achieved Masters Security Certification
  • Achieved Masters Managed Services Channel Partner status in the areas of Contact Center and Security
  • Delivered technical knowledge and expertise to customers via 11 different Cisco Advanced Technology areas

As a result, we achieved a 39 percent year-over-year increase in joint NEC-Cisco wins over the period covering Cisco’s 2008 fiscal year.

Get Out Your 3D Glasses…for LTE troubleshooting

There has been a lot of technology advancements in LTE/4G wireless as of late. And leading that front is NEC. They can add another innovation feather to their cap. On the heels of announcing the world’s smallest LTE transmitter, NEC can now look at LTE transmission patterns in 3D. If you want to see the wave patterns of radio devices (like cell towers, WiFi access points, etc) you would usually have a tool that showed you the top-down (2D) layout. However, if you are trying to fine tune for better reception to the top of a high-rise building, 2D just isn’t going to cut it. NEC’s software gives the user both the horizontal and vertical patterns. And no 3D glasses are required J

Small and Fast – LTE Wireless

NEC has been doing a lot in the LTE (4G Wireless) space as of late.

If you happen to be in Spain next week, stop by the Mobile World Congress show and see the NEC LTE base station that weighs in at only 26 pounds and is 16in x 9in x 5in. In addition, it has no fans and therefore uses 75% less power.

Also at the NEC booth…HD resolution video streaming over LTE. Thats right; we can now watch football in HD no matter where we are at!!! Life is good.
