"Today, I also meet you remotely and feel the value of being online. Such things have become the norm and will never be restored. This is the era of the new normal. " Said Koichiro Evan Jester Fujimoto, the head of the digital network division of NEC, and launched the meeting.
5G、IoT、AIの普及で、ニューノーマルへの変化はさらに加速していく。ではなぜ、そうした流れが起こるのだろうか。それは、「20数年前のインターネットの登場によって、自由につながる世界が誕生したことが大きい」と、藤本は振り返る。NECは、1977年にC&Cというコンセプトを打ち出し、コンピューターとコミュニケーションが融合したデジタル化によって、新しい世の中をつくろうとしてきた。インターネットによって実際にそれが可能となり、世の中が大きくその方向に舵を切ったことが、デジタルが常態化するニューノーマルの時代へとつながっているのではないか。そう藤本は分析する。
According to the Telecommunications Law implemented in 1985, the liberalization of communications has been promoted, and progress has been made in the development of open technologies using private forces, and communication policies are closely related to innovation. The field of wireless communications has launched a huge investment in the business with mobile phones, but there is one aspect that is necessary to grow, and so far it has been deployed in part of the company. Today, with the full popularity of mobile phones, the idea that openness should be applied to this field is expanding. Open wireless communication resources to the private sector, introduce an open development style, and attract all kinds of investment to create new examples. This will lead to new innovation. In this regard, Fujimoto captured the "era of moving forward as a country as a whole" and the current situation.
Mobile phone seems to be a new thing, but it has been born for nearly 40 years, and the Internet existed before it was served in China. At this time, as a premise, "people-to-people" communication is different from the broadband-oriented Internet environment. It in the popularity of 4G today, through cloud computing to watch Internet content, the use of Internet services for communication, wireless and Internet integration. On the Internet, in addition to these, there are a variety of applications, using the power of 5G to push it into the wireless world. "the active use of AI IoT to move towards the era of 'things' is the future 5G local 5G era." this is Fujimoto's view.
