Cutting-edge research and development leading to the creation of new principles and concepts that will revolutionize society

In the Science and Core Technology Laboratory Group we strive to realize a future network that can manipulate space and time, and thus provide a gentle, smart ubiquitous environment that will create a world of comfortable communication. Our aim is to undertake the research and development of fundamental and advanced technologies in the areas of network and ubiquitous technology, electronics technology, photonics technology, the communication science and physics and materials. The concept of our main mission statements is as follows.

• The research and development of cutting-edge technologies that will provide the seeds for NTT Group's field of business.
• The creation of new principles and concepts that achieve revolutionary innovation in information society.
• The research and development of communication technologies that are both user and environment friendly.

[ Network and Ubiquitous Technology ]

Our research and development is focused on the development of a safe, reliable and easy-to-use ubiquitous network and the next-generation broadband network technology that will bring about a transformation in information communication as regards speed, bandwidth and reliability.

[ Electronics Technologyy ]

We are engaged in R&D on “high-function and ultra-low power-consumption communications LSI”, “3-D MEMS optical switch modules”, and other technologies that will revolutionize communications networks.

[ Photonics Technology ]

We are advancing R&D on “optical and electron-integration components, modules, and photonics materials” that will revolutionize optical communications while also pioneering new applied fields.

[ Communication Science ]

Striving to realize a future communication-based society in which human qualities thrive, we are pursuing research on “ambient intelligence”, which supports people in appropriate ways; “computational science”, to use information quickly, accurately, and safely; and “human and social information science”, which seeks to gain a fundamental understanding of human beings and the environment.

[ Physics and Materials Science ]

Seeking to move from “control of optics and electricity” to “control of quantum effect”, we are engaged in R&D to create new principles and concepts that are built on nanotechnology.
