NTT and Others Make Outdoor Inspections at a Petrochemical Complex Smart with IOWN APN

Tested a high-capacity, low-latency network using IOWN APN and 60 GHz WiGig at the Mizushima industrial area in Okayama.

Deployed the environment outdoors on factory equipment to assess smart maintenance using external computing resources.

Confirmed that smart maintenance leveraging external compute resources is feasible.

Connected the Okayama site and a Tokyo building over about 700 km via IOWN APN as part of the trial.

Built a ~2 km WiGig relay network with 18 wireless relays in about six hours; achieved uplink speeds up to 900 Mbps, simultaneous ~400 Mbps from eight 4K cameras, and end-to-end latency under 0.1 seconds.
