NEC, AWS Expand Collaboration in the Global 5G and Digital Government Spaces

The Japanese IT Multinational conglomerate NEC has announced the expansion of its collaboration with AWS in the areas of global 5G and digital government.

The two behemoths had announced a corporate-level strategic collaboration agreement in November 2020. Now, NEC will expand on this collaboration.

"NEC is pleased to announce the expansion of its strategic collaboration with AWS. Last year, NEC announced this global collaboration as the first of its kind between AWS and a Japanese company. It has been a great year, seeing many successes in the areas of government, modernization and in the skill enhancement of NEC engineers. NEC is now expanding the collaboration with AWS in the areas of global 5G, digital government and in enhanced hybrid cloud offerings. With the strong global support from AWS, NEC will help drive digital transformation in the government sector and across industries as part of orchestrating a brighter world," said Toshifumi Yoshizaki, Executive Vice President at NEC Corporation.

Through this renewed collaboration, NEC will look to develop an end-to-end 5G offering and provide it globally by combining NEC's high performance cloud-native open 5G mobile core, OSS/BSS solutions, local 5G use cases etc., and AWS cloud and edge solutions. This effort will also try to accelerate the cloudification of network workloads and enhance digital transformation for enterprises by deploying 5G-based infrastructure and application at the network edge.

NEC will also strengthen its relation with AWS to develop and provide a range of offerings to accelerate the digital transformation for government activities in Japan.
