In recent years, due to the declining birthrate, aging population, and decreasing labor force, there has been a strong desire to improve productivity and save labor in the field, and there is a need for technologies that realize digital transformation (DX) of industrial society, such as robotics and AI, and support them. Private wireless technologies such as local 5G and LPWA are expected to serve as critical infrastructure.

At NTT East, we are working on manufacturing and logistics DX using the managed local 5G service "Gigaraku 5G", improving resident services for local governments and regions using LPWA/11ah, disaster prevention measures, etc. through multi-access private wireless technology. We are working on industrial DX and regional revitalization by responding to the needs of diverse customers and providing optimal network solutions that combine wired and wireless networks. In this lecture, we will introduce specific initiatives that utilize them.
