Toward New-Generation Networks Hiroshi Miyabe Vice President of NICT Deputy of Strategic Headquarters for NWGN R&D October 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 2 Big Challenges; Dawn of New-Generation Networks

Increased Power Consumption Evidence 5.8% of the total power consumption is used for ICT in 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.
