New-Generation Network Infrastructure Technology Project

The Internet, working as the social infrastructure today, is built on wired and wireless networks. Because each of such networks consists of systems based on different technical requirements, the Internet as a whole has complex and complicated structures. Especially, the s tructure of the IP network has become complicated and will become even more so as a result of the acc umulation of repeated revisions of the technical requirements. In addition to that, in the near future , it would be difficult for the Internet to be the service infrastructure, which could solve environmental issues, such as req uirements for saving
energy, and provide a safe service infrastructure for ordinary people to use.

Network requirements depend on service types and environments. We aim to build a network infrastructure that autonomously satisfies security or quality under universal control covering wired/wireless and ensures service delivery without users needing to worry about which network, wired or wireless, mobile or not, is available. We also aim to build a widely available and low-carbon-footprint infrastructure that supports data flow generated by over one trillion terminals.

1. Virtual wireless network construction technologies enabling flexible configuration of networks adaptive to service types, by universal administration and use of wired or wireless resources.

2. Technologies for breaking through the limitations of today’s Internet and building sustainable network
architecture.

3. Security technologies providing the optimum level of security without worry on the user side, by systematically integrating existing or future technologies.

Utilization of network resources or frequencies will be realized. New-types of network services or applications, universally accessible from any type of computer system, will be provided through the new network.
