NTT R&D and NTT Group companies will introduce practical applications from cutting-edge research on IOWN (APN/PEC/DCI), generative AI, and Aerospace.
IOWN(APN/PEC/DCI)
The following is an update on the progress of IOWN1.0 and efforts toward IOWN2.0.
- APN step1/2 for Enterprise
- APN step1/2 for DC Platformer
- APN step3
- DCI(IOWN×AI)
- PEC
IOWN × Media production DX
A remote video production environment has been established at the NTT Musashino R&D Center. Here, you can not only watch but also experience full-scale live program production by real broadcasting stations. In the past, it was necessary to bring production equipment, such as an OB van, to the filming site. However, by connecting the production base and the filming site via APN, only cameras and filming staff need to be dispatched, allowing production work to be done remotely. We will introduce APN's application in the video production field as a new use case through a hands-on demonstration.
Data Replication Technology
We will introduce real-time data replication technology using the world's first international APN (All-Photonics Network) connecting Japan and Taiwan. This APN enables ultra-high-speed data transfer over approximately 3,000 kilometers with a low latency of just 17 milliseconds each way, facilitating disaster recovery with minimal data loss. At this booth, you can see demonstrations using real machines and detailed use cases.
IOWN APN/DCI Technologies for cross-border metaverse services
We are introducing a metaverse space utilizing the world's first international APN (All-Photonics Network) connecting Japan and Taiwan. At this booth, you can access the metaverse from the venue using VR goggles and enjoy conversations with participants in Taiwan through simultaneous interpretation. Experience the future of cross-border and cross-language communication made possible by high-speed cloud rendering enabled by the high-capacity, low-latency APN.
Data center exchange
By utilizing high-capacity, low-latency APNs to connect data centers, multiple remote facilities can be managed as if they were a single, unified data center. This approach is gaining attention as a solution to challenges like urban space shortages and the adoption of renewable energy. In this booth, we will use visual aids to illustrate our initiatives both in Japan and abroad, optimized control technologies for enhanced energy efficiency, and applications in the field of communications.
Efficient utilization of accelerators and connection technologies with DCI
We will be showcasing the actual DCI (Data Centric Infrastructure) that implements Photonics-Electronics Convergence Technology, a key component in realizing IOWN. Additionally, we would like to present the results of our demonstration test of "RDMA over APN," a core technology within DCI that we announced in February this year, which achieved up to a 60% reduction in power consumption. These exhibits will provide an overview of DCI's current status.
In-network video processing and subchannel circuit exchange for distributed DCs
This section showcases the real-time video processing technology that will be enabled in APN Step 3. In live video distribution, which is gaining significant attention as a business tool, creating rich content through AI processing and other technologies typically requires specialized equipment and skilled staff. At this booth, we will demonstrate how high-quality video can be delivered using simple equipment by connecting the video processing functions installed in the network to the shooting base via a high-capacity, low-latency APN.

NW x Generative AI
NTT Laboratories is working to upgrade its operations to provide better network and services to customers, and aiming to realize zero-touch operations that can autonomously respond to complex and unknown faults. In the research and development of Network-AI technologies necessary for this realization, we believe that the application of generative AI such as large-scale language models (LLM), which are currently attracting attention, is particularly important. In this exhibition, we will explain the overall concept for advanced network operations and the elemental technologies related to generative AI.
Service robot control by generative AI
This technology utilizes LLM to enable a robot to appropriately understand its surroundings and spontaneously generate tasks and take action.
Competitors' robots require human assistance and specific instructions (e.g., put an apple on a plate), but this technology allows the robot to act spontaneously based on the role, capabilities, and sensor information given to it.
This technology is expected to be used in the service industry to assist and monitor the daily lives of the elderly and other people.
You can see a demonstration of actual service at our exhibition booth.
