*****For immediate use April 27, 2007

Tokyo, April 27, 2007 --- NEC Corporation and NEC Biglobe today announced their participation in a field trial for Next-Generation Networks (NGNs), which was launched by NTT in December, 2006. In the field trial, both companies will verify five services to promote enhanced B to B/ in B and B to C collaboration. Through participation, NEC expects to expand the use of NGN in both the enterprise and personal product areas.

The services NEC will verify are:

【B to B, in B Services】

Ubiquitous Desk Service

・	Secure online web meeting service that can be used among a company's HQs and branch offices. In the meeting, each member can share materials such as videos, voice data, documents, application software, and a memo pad.
・	High capacity storage service, in which multimedia data can be registered and accessed by each office.

Data Center Service for Small and Mid-size Retailers

・	Supports easy system construction using a service portal function. Systems, such as a promotion video delivery system and a web consulting system, can utilize the safe and secure functions of NGNs.
・	Will verify whether current IT systems can take easy advantage of the secure connection of NGNs and quality of service on enterprise portal sites.

Video Transmission Service for Broadcast Station

・	Transmission service for sending high-definition video data between a broadcast studio and live broadcast site, or other broadcast stations. This enables swifter and more reliable service than video tape transportation.
