Ubiquitous Networks Lab (Collaborative Division)
Machine-translated · View original
A collaborative lab where students study information networks that reach every corner of society, together with two NTT research laboratories.

AboutAbout the lab
Networks from infrastructure to services.
The Ubiquitous Networks Lab researches and teaches the next generation of networks, aiming at a society where information networks reach every corner.
It approaches networks from two perspectives, the information and communication infrastructure and the information services that run on it, and offers a system for studying everything from infrastructure to applications comprehensively.
The lab is a collaborative division with two research laboratories of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), and researchers from NTT Access Network Service Systems Laboratories and NTT Communication Science Laboratories serve as Visiting Professors.
NTT Access Network Service Systems Laboratories researches and develops technologies for access networks, which connect users to NTT buildings, including optical and wireless communications and facility operation.
NTT Communication Science Laboratories conducts research from both information science and human science, aiming at a new technological foundation that connects information and people.
