NEC proposes a "Network2020" social value platform to create social value through advanced ICT. The platform would use virtual network functions and interaction with big data analytics to provide social solutions for areas like transportation, entertainment, logistics, and more. NEC is a key contributor to components of the platform like SDN technology, OpenDaylight, and OpenStack. The platform aims to engage public and private stakeholders to define a scalable architecture through collaboration across different layers.

When planning the “Smart
City”, the public and private
stakeholders should be
engaged to define a scalable
and elastic single architecture,
as a result of collaboration of
each layer
NEC is a key
contributor to
these
components
