Hitachi Communication Technologies: Creating a Cutting-Edge Telecommunications Infrastructure for the Advanced Telecommunications Field

Thanks to the many new telecommunication technologies emerging worldwide, the ubiquitous information society?one in which anybody can get information anywhere, anytime, both securely and quickly?is becoming a reality. Moreover, the speed of change in the telecommunications field is so fast that there is no guarantee the communication service you select today will still be the best in the future.

Hitachi Communication Technologies' response to this trend is to dig deeply into user needs and quickly embody what we find as products, systems and solutions. We consider this our role, and think that it is one of our strong points.

Hitachi Communication Technologies was established in October 2002 as a telecommunications company that provides an all-in-one solution embracing sales, R&D, engineering and manufacturing through maintenance and service for the most advanced communication infrastructures. Our mission: to contribute to the realization of an enjoyable, fruitful and better life in which people all over the world are able to communicate and better understand one other.

We put our strong product development capabilities built on technological resources accumulated over decades into developing and providing infrastructure technology products for fixed and mobile communication networks for both communication carriers and general corporations, as well as IP communication products for corporations, in high-quality solution packages. Our overseas development activities are also expanding in such locations as China and other Asian countries, Europe and the United States.

Hitachi Communication Technologies is also keenly aware of its social responsibilities, and in this regard, each employee strives to follow the guidelines laid down in each of the certifications we have obtained. Nor are we simply satisfied with meeting the expectations of customers and the general public. Rather, we work to exceed them. Our attitude is embodied in our corporate statement, Communication First.

Today, our world is faced with global warming and other important environmental issues. We at Hitachi Communications Technologies are addressing these issues by setting goals for 2010 under the guideline of maintaining valuable resources so that those resources can be passed on to succeeding generations. As a specific example, to promote the development and increase of environment-friendly products, we have introduced environmental compliance assessment and green procurement systems, and closely observe global regulations to provide a wider range of products meeting environmental compliance rules.

Currently, demand is rising regarding both price and quality. Hitachi Communication Technologies will continue to serve customers' needs by offering highly reliable products worthy of the Hitachi brand while providing global-level products and solutions viewed from both price and quality.

In the future, you can be assured of even more progress from Hitachi Communication Technologies.
