NEC Corporation has announced that production of its ultra compact microwave communications system, PASOLINK, will begin in India in addition to existing production at NEC Network Products in Japan. This decision is part of NEC's measures to strengthen global competitiveness.
Until now, NEC Network Products has been the manufacturer of PASOLINK, where cost reduction is managed through innovation of production and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations is minimized by expanding the procurement of materials in foreign currencies.
NEC is establishing a new PASOLINK production unit in the Special Economic Zone of Chennai, India as a part of NEC India and is planning to commence operations at the new unit within the fiscal year ending March 2012. NEC also plans to expand local procurement of materials within India in the future.
