The Internet has transformed our lives, and even today, the evolution of information and communications continues unabated thanks to new technological innovations such as generative AI and space communications. Going forward, there can be no doubt that the further evolution of information and communications will become a driving force for changing the world. Amid such changes, there are many values to consider such as the “pursuit of safety and security” and “greater convenience” as well as “creating a better society,” “reducing environmental load,” and “achieving a sustainable society.” It is therefore becoming increasingly important that we continue to seek out answers to questions like “What direction should we take?” and to that end “What kind of value should we aim for in the network, the basis of the information and communications infrastructure?” that organically links “people to people,” “people to things,” and “people to information.”

As its name implies, NTT Network Service Systems Laboratories conducts research and development to find answers to these problems through an expert group of researchers that deal with networks, services, and systems.

In particular, we are involved in the following fields to make the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) concept promoted by NTT a reality:
A) Research and development of architecture for the All-Photonics Network (APN) and fixed-mobile convergence networks;
B) Research and development of transport system configuration, network control, and network processing infrastructure technologies; and
C) Formulation of innovative concepts and theories and the creation of new network value centered about communications traffic, quality, and operational infrastructure technologies.

Going forward, NTT Network Service Systems Laboratories will take up the challenge of creating innovative technologies together with our business partners in the technical fields described above. In this way, we aim to contribute to the creation of an even better future society by becoming a leader in the research and development of information and communications and disseminating our results globally.
