Workshop on the Integration of Advanced Industrial Technology and Advanced Telecommunications Technology (IX) (Vol. 9) Experience millimeter wave and APN and discuss how these two work together!
2025.09.11
The XGMF-ODAIBA IX (Industrial Transformation) Core will hold its ninth workshop online on Thursday, September 18. *XGMF members can participate on-site (docomo R&D OPEN LAB ODAIBA).
Millimeter wave is now beginning to attract renewed attention as an important technology that supports end-to-end performance assurance by linking with APN (All Photonics Network). In the first part of this "XGMF-ODAIBA IX Core Workshop (Vol. 9)," three core members of the IOWN Global Forum, which promotes IOWN as the most promising APN, will provide important hints and tips, followed by a hands-on experience of millimeter wave and APN respectively in the second part. The second part will be a discussion and brainstorming session with "IOWN Global Forum" members on what kind of service models the collaboration of these two might create.
