Japan’s NTT Corporation and Taiwan’s Chunghwa Telecom Co. have entered a partnership around the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) concept, which promotes the use of photonics technologies to develop high-speed, high-capacity network and information processing infrastructure.
According to its website, NTT pioneered the IOWN concept to “[transform] existing information and communication systems” and “[realize] a new information and communication infrastructure that goes beyond the limitations of current ICT technology.”
