NEC develops technology for instantly estimating Internet and mobile network communications speeds



- Improving the quality of streaming video and IP telephone services –

NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has developed a new technology that estimates the transmission speed of internet and mobile network communications (3G and LTE), enabling the provision of high quality services based on transmission speeds.

In recent years, Internet and mobile network services have been increasing their high capacity data communications, such as streaming video and rich content. However, since transmission speeds change from one moment to the next, mobile terminal users must often wait before viewing rich content and the quality of IP phone connections can be difficult to maintain.
