It has been learned through reporting by TV Tokyo that the IOWN Global Forum, led by NTT, will enter into a comprehensive partnership with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to advance the standardization of IOWN.
IOWN, which replaces conventional electrical signals with optical signals, is a next-generation technology that NTT says can reduce power consumption to as little as one-hundredth of current levels. The company has been developing the technology as part of its long-term strategy to build a more energy-efficient communications infrastructure.
The agreement is scheduled to be signed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the world’s largest mobile-related exhibition, which opened in Spain on March 2nd.
If IOWN is standardized as a unified international specification, it would mark a significant step toward its widespread global adoption.
