Promotion for R&D and Technology Demonstrations
We have organized a framework to promote both technological demonstrations for grasping technology trends in a timely manner and utilizing the latest technologies for our business, and research and development aimed at creating state-of-the-art technologies over the long term.
In the area of technology demonstration, mainly our technology divisions are engaged in the development and demonstration of technologies that will support future business operations, such as next-generation networks and LX Technologies.
Meanwhile, in the field of R&D, apart from the technology divisions mentioned above, KDDI Research, Inc. is engaged in a wide range of fields, from research analysis for future prediction to advanced research and applied research. In particular, advanced research covers a wide range of areas centered on networks, security, AI, and XR (Cross Reality).
