Kayahara Masayuki, General Manager of NEC's Service Provider Solutions Department, has addressed the critical role of the new telecom network in the era beyond 5G.
The conversation went beyond technology to emphasize the significant effects on society and the actions required to make this journey of transformation.
Digital Technology Reshaping Societies
Masayuki began by emphasizing digital technology's transformative power in shaping societies. With a keen eye on the world's current challenges— be they inequality, energy consumption, or environmental concerns— he emphasized the need for social providers to take proactive measures in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) towards a sustainable future.
NEC 2030 Vision
Masayuki unveiled the NEC 2030 Vision, a bold plan for a time when the environment, society, and life all live together in harmony. Focused on sharing hope that transcends time, space, and generational boundaries, NEC aspires to nurture prosperous cities with highly inclusive societies while harmonizing with the Earth to secure our collective future.
Beyond 5G
The keynote presentation delved into the distinct vision for Beyond 5G, placing a notable emphasis on societal improvement through innovation, rather than focusing solely on technological advancements. The steps outlined included network requirements for sustainability, coverage and quality enhancements, AI and machine learning integration for improved customer experiences, and robust security measures to combat cyber threats.
Open Collaboration
Masayuki also noted the importance of open collaboration, envisioning a truly open and trusted ecosystem; contemplating a future where technology fades into the background, and providing a seamless experience for individuals— a wealthy Beyond 5G society where humans do not feel the overwhelming presence of technology.
Masayuki's keynote not only provided a glimpse into the technological advancements shaping the era beyond 5G but also provided a call to action for the telecom industry to play a central role in constructing a sustainable and prosperous future.
