If development work continues at its current pace, 2030 could witness the emergence of fully functional commercial 6G networks and a transformational revolution in fixed communications through the IOWN project.
IOWN, backed by NTT, Sony, Intel, Nvidia, Microsoft, and other tech leaders, aims to create a global communications structure enabling ultra-fast, high-capacity internet utilizing photonics technologies to meet the growing data demand.
The IOWN initiative targets the exponential data increase by providing high-speed communication using photonics, tech-focused optics, computing capabilities, and addresses the growing energy consumption from AI and large-language processing requirements.
IOWN's mission is to turn science fiction into reality, enhancing daily life, work, and society with speed-of-light technologies through three core areas: all-photonics network, digital twin computing, and a cognitive foundation.
