Joint demonstration of low-latency, high-capacity transmission combining an all-photonics network and millimeter-wave technology

KOTO-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN, January 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fujikura Ltd. (President and CEO: Naoki Okada) has participated in the "IOWN Lab" (opened on January 24, 2024) established by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation (President and CEO: Naoki Shibuya, hereinafter referred to as "NTT East") to jointly demonstrate a millimeter-wave application using IOWN technology. Fujikura, NTT East, NTT COMWARE CORPORATION (President and CEO: Masato Kuroiwa), and TeraPixel Technologies, Inc. (President and CEO: Naoki Kawahara) have jointly conducted a low-latency, high-capacity transmission demonstration that combines an all-photonics network (APN) and millimeter-wave technology to create a high-speed video transmission environment.　

In the demonstration, images were transmitted from an automated data center patrol robot using our 60-GHz-band millimeter-wave wireless communications module.

＜60-GHz-band millimeter-wave wireless communications module＞
A wireless communications module that uses millimeter waves in the 60-GHz frequency band. The 60-GHz band does not require a radio station license and can be used with a simple system configuration, so the development of communications equipment and industrial equipment that utilize this frequency band is highly anticipated. This module delivers world-class performance, including automatic beamforming, throughput of 1 Gbps or more at a distance of 500 m, and low latency on the order of milliseconds, and is shipped with the Technical Standards Compliance Certification (proof that devices such as mobile phones and wireless LAN devices comply with the technical standards of the Radio Law) from a certification body in Japan.
