NEC Corp., Japan’s largest maker of phone-network equipment, won an order valued at about 30 billion yen ($362 million) from a group led by Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp. to supply undersea cables, according to Your Industry News.  The fiber-optic cables will connect Japan with Southeast Asia, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deal hasn’t been made public. NEC is also in talks with a separate group on an order valued at about 20 billion yen that may be decided as early as next month, two people familiar with the matter said.
