Rich Tehrani is not the only TMC editorial voice in Dallas this week.

 

I'm here as well visiting clients and dropping in to see what's going on at IP Sizzles.

 

So far today, I've had some interesting meetings with NEC and Fujitsu. More to come later, but suffice it to say there is a lot of interesting stuff going on here in Texas.

 

NEC is working on new platforms and new terminals (phones) and new applications to address their bread and butter Enterprise market, including some interesting applications targeting verticals such as healthcare, hospitality and higher education.

 

Fujitsu continues to build on their success in the optical market. The highlight of the visit today was a tour of their manufacturing facility in Richardson, TX. As I said, I'll cover this more in depth later on, but I just wanted to thank Traci King and Danna Melcher for their time and for arranging such an interesting tour of the facility.

 

Now it's off to IP Sizzles... and yes, FYI, it's sizzling in Dallas, with the mercury hitting 102 today.
