At NEC, we look forward to the beginning of a “new era of connectivity.”Beyond 5G. NEC defines Beyond 5G as a communication system that integrates networks and distributed data processing, organically utilizes computing resources distributed around the world, and realizes real-time interactions around the world.beyond 5G technology We will form a new society, remove all physical barriers to communication, and go beyond it to reach our full human potential. Beyond 5G technology evolution will be much larger than individual steps in the development of wireless communication technology. Beyond 5G will be developed through a process that marries modern network solutions with complementary technologies such as distributed computing and AI. This revolution in technological power will have far-reaching effects, from transforming individual lives to reshaping broader business and society.
Beyond 5G: What will the future hold for society?
As we progress towards a Beyond 5G future, physical barriers in space and time will gradually be removed, and in turn social barriers will be removed, allowing a fully inclusive society to thrive without restriction. It will be. New experiences are waiting to be discovered. The real and virtual worlds will be seamlessly integrated, allowing every individual to reach their potential without physical or time limitations. Seamless universal network coverage will give people in all parts of the world more opportunities to shape their lives according to their values. This will also extend to the diversification of work styles, giving people more freedom in their work styles than they currently have, and broadening their range of options.
The impact of Beyond 5G will extend beyond your current lifestyle and transform your relationship with the physical world. Through new access to historical, real-time, and future data, we will be able to make predictions about global phenomena (such as extreme weather events) that were previously too complex to analyze accurately. . A new understanding of ourselves and the world will be unlocked through the power of Beyond 5G.
The role of AI in data analysis and processing
The amount of data processing required to achieve this vision of a fully integrated society requires innovative integration of various technologies. AI and globally distributed computing power are integrated to create a dynamic network that can carry vast and constant flows of real data. -Time processing. The combination of these technologies will define his 5G “beyond” on a technical level. It is the foundation for realizing high-speed, large-capacity, and low-latency communication performance. The relationship between networks and AI will emerge through a process of co-evolution. NEC has already introduced “” and ““AI for networks” and “networks for AI”. AI technology must be able to maintain fully automated processing, and maintaining real-time processing on a global scale requires AI that can adapt and evolve as the environment changes.
3 types of communication
The Beyond 5G revolution will be supported by three types of communications: hyperrealistic communications, digital twins, and ubiquitous global coverage. Achieving the first of these requires incorporating new forms of data: spatial information, the human senses, and broader contextual information about the motivations for our interactions. When it comes to digital twins, it is a means of extracting data from the real world and reproducing it in a virtual world. Finally, millimeter waves, terahertz waves, Geostationary Orbit Satellite (GEO), Low Earth Orbit Satellite (LEO), High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS).
Next steps to achieve this vision
NEC continues to advance its Beyond 5G vision by continuously expanding 5G performance and capabilities while integrating distributed data platforms as part of its development. NEC is one of the few companies in the world that possesses the necessary top-class technology across a variety of fields. These are utilized through an integrated approach that integrates the latest network technologies and distributed data processing from the earliest research and development stages of development. Furthermore, in order to realize the vision of a society transformed by cutting-edge technology that creates value for everyone, we will make the most of our system construction and operational capabilities and innovate.
