NTT carries out basic research and development activities at three laboratory groups in a wide range of fields, including some of the most advanced ICT research in the world.
In the interest of creating a “new world of communication brought about by sharing of contextualized knowledge” in a “broadband and ubiquitous society”, the NTT is undertaking R&D to create new communication services and to foster foundational technologies that will realize communication networks to support these services. Moreover, the NTT is also actively engaging in research on cutting-edge and basic technologies that look to the next decade.
Research and development leading to the creation of new technologies and products for new broadband and ubiquitous services
- Research and development of products and services for broadband and ubiquitous services
- Research and development into component technologies related to the handling of different media, needed for broadband and ubiquitous services
Research and development of infrastructure technology to support next-generation network services
- Strategic investigation on R&D themes, research and development on network architecture and basic technologies for telecommunications quality and traffic, and coordinated promotion of commercial development across laboratory boundaries
- Research and development on fundamental information and communication technologies that allow safe, secure, convenient, and economic use of various next-generation network services
- Research and development of network services and advanced networks technologies that will support these services
- Creation of new access service as a basis of information sharing business, and realization of access system network to support above-mentioned service
- Research and development of environmental information and communication technology (environmental ICT) that will bring about a revolution in living environments and energy systems
Cutting-edge research and development leading to the creation of new far-sighted principles and concepts
- Research and development of innovative communication technologies to establish fundamentals of future networks and their services
- Research and development on the cutting-edge technologies ranging from the device and the module to the subsystem that will be useful to support "broadband and ubiquitous services"
- Research and development of optical and electronic components, modules, materials, and other core photonics technologies to achieve novel forms of information sharing
- Discovery and creation of new approaches and concepts in intelligent communication, media information, and human science to revolutionize information communication technologies
- Discover novel concepts in the field of network technology to overcome the present limitations in speed, capacity and size
