Fujikura's Technology Development Strategy and Millimeter Wave Technology
Fujikura is a company with a long history of nearly 140 years since its establishment. Starting with electric wires, we have developed our business and products in a wide range of fields, including telecommunications, energy, electronics, and automobiles, centering on optical fibers. In the 2025 Mid-Term Management Plan, Fujikura will identify technological fields to be addressed, design technologies necessary to develop new products, processing and assembly technologies, and manufacturing technologies. In the 2025 Mid-Term Management Plan, we are working on R&D themes for the future by creating a "technology platform" that organizes core technologies, which consist of design, processing, assembly, and manufacturing technologies required to develop new products, and fundamental technologies to be utilized as common technologies. Among these, we have established three important R&D themes: "next-generation optical communications," "next-generation energy," and "millimeter-wave applications. In my presentation, I will introduce the history of millimeter wave technology development, which is one of these important themes, and outline two products we have developed: 28GHz antenna modules and 60GHz communication modules. Finally, I will also talk about our joint demonstration experiment of low latency and high capacity transmission using our 60GHz communication module.
Tatsuya Banno
Director and CTO, Fujikura Ltd.
Since joining Fujikura in 1987, he has been consistently involved in the development, technology, and manufacturing technology related to optical cables, and has abundant experience in Fujikura's optical-related business as well as advanced expertise in optical fibers. From April 2022, as Director and CTO, he will be in charge of the New Business Creation, R&D, and Quality Control Divisions, and will be responsible for planning and executing Fujikura's management and business strategies.

Sony's initiative for 5G Technology and Use case
Four years have passed since the start of 5G commercial services in Japan, and services based on 5G, or SA (Stand Alone), including the core network, have also begun. At Sony, our activities are centered on "getting closer to people" (creators and users) and creating and delivering "excitement" under our management direction of "Creation Shift. As one of the means to realize these goals, Sony is working on the utilization of 5G. In this presentation, we will show how we realize the "Creation Shift" with 5G and how we are "getting closer to people" through use cases and solutions including devices and millimeter waves.
Nobuyuki Toyoda
Senior Software Engineer, Communication Systems Development Department, Wireless Communication Systems Engineering Division, Technology Center, Sony Corporation
After graduating from university, he worked for a major telecommunications equipment manufacturer on projects related to cell phone base stations and 5G demonstration tests.In 2018, he joined Sony Mobile Communications (now Sony Corporation). Currently, he is applying his expertise in baseband signal processing for telecommunications to contribute to the development of innovative solutions that integrate Sony's products and services with mobile communications, with the aim of opening up new areas of value creation.

Current and Future Development of 5G Technology at Fujitsu
In this presentation, we will first explain the direction of network technology, one of Fujitsu's priority technology areas, and the overall picture of Open RAN technology that Fujitsu is working on for 5G. Next, the latest developments in beamforming and high-frequency device technologies, which are key technologies for radio base station (RU) equipment, will be presented as examples of Open RAN technologies. Finally, we will introduce our efforts to develop integrated modularized RUs for the purpose of developing compact and power-saving next-generation millimeter wave RUs, and show that enabling high-speed and high-capacity characteristics of 5G millimeter wave with Wi-Fi-like ease of installation will reduce TCO per throughput and be effective in promoting the spread of millimeter wave. This will reduce the TCO per throughput and promote the spread of millimeter wave.

The Promise of FR2 *Video presentation
For the past two years, the wireless industry has been critical of 5G FR2. Millimeter wave communications, once seen as a promising means of delivering ultra-fast and secure data rates, has had only limited success in the marketplace at this point, and some have called it a "failure. Some problems are real (high cost, absence of a clear "killer app," technical challenges in link management), and some criticism from the same journals and journalists that initially over-hyped 5G FR2: SMS, MIMO, the 1800/1900 MHz band, and even Like many other mobile wireless technologies, such as digital packet radio, the initial implementation of FR2 did not match the hype five years ago. However, we are actually seeing a different picture, with the exploration of new use cases including sensing and high-capacity industrial and entertainment applications, better link management standards, the introduction of AI, and the continued decline in component costs. There is also significant pressure on spectrum resources. This talk will discuss opportunities to make the most of this spectrum and the latest technologies. It will also cover some examples of how design and measurements have evolved to productively advance the second phase of 5G millimeter wave.

Local 5G Railroad Applications and Their Future
Local 5G started with great expectations, but even after four years, it has not yet entered the diffusion phase. However, the problems of local 5G equipment and terminal costs and options are gradually being resolved, and the licensing system is being revised for flexible operation. On the other hand, local 5G operation on long and narrow self-owned land such as roads is still restricted due to the problem of signal leakage to other land. We have been working on demonstration experiments and verification aiming for local 5G utilization on all railroad lines from FY2021, and now that we have some sense of direction, including future institutional arrangements, we would like to briefly introduce the future toward its realization.
