NTT Information Network Laboratory Group is vigorously undertaking R&D of “Simple”, “Smart”, and “Sustainable” network technologies for contributing to the development of information network society platform which is able to connect all things.
The Laboratory Group consists of four Laboratories: Network Technology Laboratories, which work on network architecture, communication traffic & service quality, and convergence network & services; Network Service System Laboratories, which work on network services and the next-generation information network technologies; Access Service System Laboratories, which work on the next-generation information network technologies and access system & network for creating new access services ; Energy and the Environment System Laboratories, which work on environment information technologies and energy technologies for evolution of living environment.

In recent years, as information communication technology has played increasingly important roles in our social life and economic activities, the expectations and demands of society on networks have also steadily increased.
People have begun to find it natural to expect not only to be connected to the network anytime but also to be connected from anywhere to anyone or anything safely and securely.
To respond to such changes in the situation and the expectations of society, NTT Information Network Laboratory Group is undertaking “Connecting R&D” for going beyond the safe and secure connection of not only “person and person” but “person and thing”, and “thing and thing”.
We are aiming for the implementation of new information network services over the wide range from advanced research in various advanced fields related to networks to practical development.
Concretely, we are dealing with the new network architecture for fixed mobile convergence, the high reliability and robust network against disasters and the operating technology for supporting optimum network operation.
We also emphasize activities intended to deal with environmental problems, such as the development of technologies to provide information communication services that impose less of an environmental burden and technologies to apply ICT in order to help improve the environment.

“ Do research by drawing from the fountain of knowledge, and provide specific benefits to society through commercial development. ” we keep in mind those words of Goro Yoshida, the first Director of the Telecommunications Research Laboratories. And in pursuing our daily R&D activities, we keep in mind our profound responsibility for building the new future society with our own hands, and at the same time relish the opportunity to contribute to the innovation of society.
As researchers and developers we will have grand aspirations.
