      NEC Corporation (NASDAQ:NIPNY) and NEC Magnus Communications Ltd. today 
      announced that Sony Corporation (NYSE:SNE) will implement a large-scale 
      internet protocol (“IP”) 
      telephony system including NEC’s UNIVERGE® 
      SV7000, a SIP-based IP telephony server, and 9000 IPtermSIP85 IP phones.
    
    
      NEC’s collaboration middleware, UNIVERGE 
      OW5000, provides open application programming interfaces (APIs) to

      Microsoft® Office applications with telephone 
      functions, providing click to dial phone numbers stored in the Microsoft 
      Office applications such as Word and Excel. In addition, NEC’s 
      unified messaging system, UnifiedStar i Series, centrally manages voice 
      messages and promotes a reduction in communications-related cost and 
      business efficiency.
    
    
      UNIVERGE is NEC's IP architecture that unifies multimedia networks. It 
      integrates voice and data networks while creating the optimal mobile 
      environment with systems designed for specific businesses and industries.
