The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has selected NEC to provide them with equipment for a wide-disaster prevention system. The system monitors seismic and volcanic activity using meters and indicators installed in over 40 locations across the country. In the event of an emergency, warnings and alerts will be issued.

To answer the need for efficient and effective communication, the company has released their flagship product for their Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) telecom equipment, the SL1000.The NEC SL1000 is a highly flexible PABX device that is widely used in Philippine establishments. It can fit into varied roles depending on the need of the organization. Examples of these roles are:

Aside from their role as a key player in the country’s technology industry, they have also participated in humanitarian causes. Last February, the company has raised a sum of over 267,000 pesos to provide Yolanda victims with tents and solar panels for housing and power purposes. The solar panels are very useful since numerous power outages makes communication and daily operations difficult for the victims and the local government. The company’s employees also went to the site to distribute the tents and to teach the local officials to operate the solar panels.
