Japanese telecommunications giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. today announced it has developed a prototype chip that it believes will one day be able to deliver a significant boost in data transfer speeds within data centers and undersea fiber optic cables. The company said its extremely compact new baseband amplifier integrated circuit module boasts an ultra-broadband performance of 100 […]

Japanese telecommunications NTT on Thursday unveiled a prototype chip that it believes will help boost communications speed in data centers and across undersea fiber optic cables in the future. While the technology’s release is still years out, the tiny chip would amplify a 100 Gigahertz (GHz) electrical signal, said Kazuhiro Gomi president and CEO at NTT

“Metadata stored within medical images, including X-rays and CT scans, can disclose confidential information, like patient names, photographed body parts, and the medical centers or physicians involved, leading to patient identification,” explains Jean-Philippe Cabay, data scientist at NTT Global in Belgium, whose team won the hackathon. “Attribute-based encryption ensures that only authorized users with the

“A Fourier transform maps time to frequency,” explains Ryan Hamerly, principal investigator at Silicon Valley R&D startup NTT Research Popular mechanics. “So if you have a piano piece, the waveform you pick up with a microphone is a time-varying signal. But people are also interested in things like spectrum in this case – which notes are

NTT Corporation and the University of Tokyo in Japan have devised a new learning algorithm inspired by the information processing of the brain that is suitable for multi-layered artificial neural networks (DNN) using analog operations. This breakthrough will lead to a reduction in power consumption and computation time for AI. Japan develops world’s first optical computing

NTT invited me to attend an event they will be hosting in San Francisco, which will explore 6G, next-gen network infrastructure and sustainability. It will be held at the NTT Experience Center and will highlight the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network initiative. IOWN is led through a combined effort from NTT, Intel and Sony. The

How do we test edge computing and make sure that our smart (often smaller) machines are doing what they should be doing? For NTT’s Parm Sandhu, it comes down to many factors, but he is able to pinpoint a number of key trends and practices. In his role as vice president for enterprise 5G products and

Physicist Stephen Wiesner first proposed the idea of quantum money in 1969 but there were details still to be worked out. One of them was a system by which people could check that quantum money stored on a quantum computer was actually created by the official authorities.

As I rev up for all things AI in 2023, I wanted to take a quick look back at my favorite stories, large and small, that I covered in 2022 — starting with my first few weeks at VentureBeat back in April. In August, I enjoyed getting a look at a possible AI hardware future.

Tokyo-based telecommunications giant NTT Corporation announced today it’s developing a technology to power the world’s fastest radio wave propagation—to provide devices with lightning-fast wireless communication. NTT’s innovation—done in collaboration with Tokyo Denki University—is spurred in part by the increasing demands for high-speed, low-latency network connections between communication endpoints, as well as the continued rise in data usage and information flow.

NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT announced that its Medical & Health Informatics (MEI) Lab has entered a three-year joint research agreement with the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). NTT Research scientists will work with the Disease Biophysics Group (DBG) at SEAS to engineer a model of the human heart, elucidate fundamental laws of muscular
