Toward New-Generation Networks

Hiroshi MiyabeVice President of NICT

Deputy of Strategic Headquarters for NWGN R&DOctober 8th, 2009

How can we overcome global challenges to accomplish sustainable development?

• Environmental changes• Social and economic problems• Other problems and crisis facing the future

Big Challenges;Dawn of New-Generation Networks

Big Challenges;Dawn of New-Generation Networks

Increased Power ConsumptionIncreased Power Consumption

Evidence5.8% of the total power consumption is used for

ICT in 2006.Total traffic volume in 2020 is estimated to be

1000–100,000 times of today’s traffic volume. For establishing a sustainable global society, we must overcome the power consumption issues.

New-generation network architecture should be dedicated to low power-consumption with no sacrifice of robustness and reliability.

AKARI Architecture Design ProjectAKARI Architecture Design Project

• The primary mission of AKARI is to design a network architecture• To develop novel technologies for NWGN by 2015• To envision a new infrastructure for the next two or three decades• To pursue an ideal solution by researching new network architectures from a clean-slate without being impeded by existing constrains
