NTT Showcases IOWN and Quantum Leap at Annual R&D Forum
Tokyo, December 1
NTT, Inc. held an R&D Forum with the headword "IOWN and Quantum Leap".
It is the biggest annual event to introduce the latest technology contributing industrial progress.
NTT is managing telecommunication services. Based on telephone service NTT developed active noise control technology.
Yutaka Kamamoto, NTT said "I introduce noise cancelling technology in the airspace. Here I got a big noise but moving here noise is limited. Before noise is coming this technology can predict the kind of noise and reduce noise. Utilizing the technology to make airspace calm, NTT can reduce deafness risk".
NTT has cutting edge sensor technology. It contributes to making the doctor's diagnosis process more convenient. Distant patients and doctors are connected by this technology.
Koki Ebina, NTT, "To connect distant hospital and house staying patients by telecom technology, NTT can realize palpation diagnosis. This technology can detect the softness of a patient in the home and send it to a doctor in the hospital to realize distant palpation. Touching a patient's leg, this technology can detect the softness of the affected part. Information of softness is carried to the doctor in hospital and the same softness on this device. It is a newly developed technology".
Wireless laser technology of NTT is world top level.
Natsuha Ochiai, NTT, "By using laser technology, this facility enables optical wireless power transmission. When the laser beam is activated, it expands and irradiates the solar battery uniformly, allowing the drone to fly. This technology makes it possible to deliver electricity via laser to remote islands or disaster-affected areas without the need for power cables".
NTT R&D Forum is the showcase of cutting edge technology to realize convenient and comfortable social life. It makes the audience envisage the symptoms of the industrial revolution.

Wireless power transmission via laser for disaster areas is brilliant. After seeing floods in Assam and Kerala, such tech could keep communication drones airborne for rescue ops. Hope Indian telecom R&D is watching closely.
Interesting showcase, but the article reads more like a press release. Would like more critical analysis on the feasibility and timeline for these technologies, especially for developing nations. The noise control in "airspace" concept needs clearer explanation.
Noise cancellation predicting noise before it arrives? Sounds like sci-fi! If this can be applied to our noisy city streets and public transport, it would be a blessing. The health benefits alone make it worth pursuing.
As someone who works in tech, I'm impressed by the holistic approach—from healthcare to infrastructure. The "Quantum Leap" isn't just a buzzword here. It's about solving real-world problems. Hope collaborations with Indian institutes happen.
Good to see telecom giants investing in R&D beyond just faster data. The focus on societal benefit is key. Jio and Airtel should take note and invest more in foundational research, not just service rollout.
