NEC's IOMC provides an integrated operation and maintenance solution for LTE/SAE systems, helping operators reduce operation and maintenance costs.

It has the capabilities for monitoring operation and maintenance status not only the LTE/SAE Network Elements (NEs) but also the NEs in environments where different mobile systems (e.g. 3G) are co-existent.

NEC is a world-leader in wireless networking. Since providing the world's first 3G network in 2001, NEC has developed and deployed some of the world's most advanced wireless networking solutions.

As a leading participant in the 3GPP group that developed the LTE standard, NEC is committed to LTE solutions that feature the highest levels of quality, scalability and interoperability. Our deep involvement in the standardization process is demonstrated by the fact that approximately 40 members and two vice-chairman of 3GPP come from NEC.

NEC is also contributing to various other groups working to develop and promote international LTE standards including ;

• LSTI (LTE / SAE* Trial Initiative)   * SAE : System Architecture Evolution
• NGMN (Next Generation Mobile Networks)

NEC is also involved in the Femtocell standardization activities with considering smooth migration toward LTE and is board member of the Femto Forum ( www.femtoforum.org ), an independent association established in July 2007.

Joining with other industry leaders in LTE development, NEC has announced a mutual commitment to a framework for establishing more predictable and transparent maximum aggregate costs for licensing intellectual property rights (IPR) relevant to 3GPP LTE / SAE standards.
