silicon.com went along to NEC's R&D labs in Heidelberg, Germany, to see some of the technology it has been developing.

Some of the projects include technology to improve road safety, boost the appeal of IPTV and to protect VoIP networks from attack.

This photo shows the technology behind a car-to-car warning system. There are sat-nav devices at the back with receivers and transmitters on the table in front.
