Information and communications infrastructure and data center

Data center decentralization

Data centers are concentrated in urban areas due to concerns about network delays, and high land prices make it difficult to expand. There is a movement to build large-scale data centers in the suburbs and rural areas, however, huge amounts of electricity and water are being used locally, and we are facing environmental challenges. By connecting small- and medium-sized data centers with APNs, we can solve these problems by creating an environment in which the distributed data centers can operate like a single data center.

Building information and communications infrastructure in the AI era

The use of AI in a data-centric society is very important. To be sustainable, it is necessary to build an information and communications infrastructure with high energy efficiency. IOWN is working to build a data-centric infrastructure (DCI) for the AI era.

Introduction of IOWN into mobile communication networks

We are promoting the introduction of IOWN technology for the next-generation 6G communication standard. In mobile communications networks, optical fibers support communications beyond the base station antenna. By introducing of APNs with high capacity, low latency, and low commodity power will support next-generation mobile communications networks.
