Within the Anritsu Group, we define environmentally conscious
products that have minimal environmental impact as Excellent Eco
Products according to our ecological assessment standards for
products, and we are promoting the development of such products
proactively.

Excellent Eco Product |
|
Anritsu Group carries out product assessment
based on its own independently established criteria. To elaborate on a
point mentioned above, an Excellent Eco Product which we define as an
environmentally conscious product is designed to exert minimum
environmental impact, meet certain criteria for environmental
friendliness and possess environmentfriendly features at the leading
edge of the industry.
Environmental information on Excellent Eco Products is published in our
brochures and appears in our website. We review product registration
periodically. Having added two new models in fiscal 2005, we supply the
market with eight Excellent Eco Product models. |

This MT8510B Service Tester has a function to check the quality of
third-generation mobile phones, and is mainly used by mobile phone
retailers and repair shops. It simplifies and shortens the testing
procedure by allowing communication quality and performance tests to be
performed with simple push-button operation.
The integration of functions from multiple units into a single unit has
shrunk the circuit scale, leading to reduced power consumption and
lighter housing. As a result, in the new unit we achieved 63% less power
consumption and 74% less weight than the preceding model.
We intend to continue our efforts to reduce power consumption and weight,
and to also especially focus on compact-size-oriented development. |

This EC2060A Compact L2SW is small, lightweight and power-efficient,
with excellent durability for use in outdoor environments. It is a
switch required for optical IP networks for such outdoor facilities as
monitoring cameras and wireless LAN base stations. We have developed
this product as the layer 2* switch
incorporated in the monitoring system adopted by administrative bodies
such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
Use of small components and high-density mounting greatly cuts housing
size. Use of stainless steel reduces the need for painted parts, and
improves its recyclability. Adoption of unified power circuits, low-power-consumption
components and highly efficient power supply lowers power consumption.
As a result, we achieved a 77% reduction of volume, 43% less weight and
46% less power consumption than the preceding model. In addition, we
adopted lead-free soldering in the production process.
As network equipment market trends move toward higher speed and larger
volume, we would like to continue our efforts in the development of
communication equipment, with downsizing and power consumption reduction
in mind. |

*Layer 2: |
This is the second layer in the network
structure model that has seven kinds of data communication
characteristics. It has features to correct bit error and command
resent electric signals. |
