Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) will present its watch-sized PHS to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland*.The NTT-developed watch-sized PHS received high evaluation during its field trial at the Nagano Olympic Winter Games, which resulted in NTT receiving a request from Mr. Manoro Romero of the International Olympic Commission (IOC) to donate watch-sized PHS to the Olympic Museum. NTT, grateful for this opportunity to continue providing to the world an example of NTT's technology after the conclusion of the Nagano Olympic Winter Games, has decided to answer Mr. Romero's request.
