NEC Sphere is the first to deliver unified communications as a business application for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
NEC Sphere Communications, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation, is the leader in Unified Communications (UC) software and the emerging category known as Service Oriented Communications (SOC).
Service Oriented Communications is based on the premise that SOA applications can use a common “communications services engine” via web services – including voice, e-mail, conferencing, video, instant messaging and more – within workflows of key business applications.NEC Sphere is the world’s first company to fully integrate human capital with business processes, business applications and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). NEC Sphere leverages the investments in SOA by integrating communications as a key application.
The award-winning NEC Sphericall has been installed by all types of enterprises throughout the world including educational institutions, government agencies and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). More importantly, NEC Sphericall has been accredited by the U.S. DoD under the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) PBX1 Certifications and is available under the Approved Product List (APL) for purchase and deployment in defense communications. This certification is especially important for local, state and Federal government agencies and in Homeland Security applications.
NEC Sphericall is the solution to enterprise-class unified communications and runs on industry-standard servers across an existing data network. Through its unique distributed software architecture, Sphericall scales to 30,000 ports and achieves 99.999% reliability.
NEC Sphericall provides users with the greatest flexibility at the lowest possible cost of ownership. It utilizes a certification process that ensures that “NEC Sphere Certified” devices deliver specific levels of quality and dependability to support the dynamic, expanding needs of telephony users.
Founded in 1994 by telecommunications visionary and entrepreneur Charles W. Pearson, NEC Sphere has a rich history for innovative and industry-leading technology. NEC Sphere delivers enterprise telecommunications through an open, software-based IP PBX solution that integrates with business processes.

The company was acquired by Tokyo-based NEC Corporation in 2007. Today, the Corporation continues to invest in ongoing research and development to continuously enhance SOC core technologies. Through its standards-based, open-systems approach to enterprise communications, NEC Sphere continues to optimize its software, leveraging ongoing advancements and cost reductions of enterprise servers, gateways, IP phones and related communications end points.
