TOKYO--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and the Hokuriku Regional Office of NTT DOCOMO, INC. (DOCOMO), together with the city of Kanazawa, celebrated the opening of a new section of the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line between Kanazawa and Tsuruga by holding digital events on March 16 under the theme of “Connection,” a key component of NTT Group’s Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) concept.[1]

For the connection, NTT Com provided its APN Leased Line Plan powered by IOWN,[2] which used the longest optical cable ever deployed in an IOWN demonstration and the first to be deployed in Japan’s Hokuriku region.

The event brought together the Kanazawa Junior Jazz Orchestra JAZZ-21, consisting mainly of middle and high school students who have performed at the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and various major festivals around the world, and celebrated violinist Mayu Kijima, winner of numerous international competitions, including the 1st Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition in 2016, who performed with the Walner violin made by Antonio Stradivari 1699, which was on loan from the Munetsugu Collection.

Kanazawa City provided the demonstration environment and operated the venue in its area and NTT Com provided the APN transmission equipment and the venue in Tokyo. NTT Com and DOCOMO livestreamed the event on Kanazawa’s metaverse platform using DOCOMO’s 5G video transmission system, allowing viewers at home to enjoy the live event on PCs, smartphones and tablets via the browser-based virtual space platform DOOR.[3] In addition, DOCOMO used its Hide Mode[4] function to allow more people than normal to enter the virtual room. This was the first time in Japan that a metaverse space open to the public was used for a music event.

In another demonstration, smart lighting was used to allow spectators to digitally interact with Kanazawa’s famous Tsuzumi-mon Gate to influence its illumination on the evening of March 16. Using 5G communication and IoT technology, spectators were able change the illumination by selecting from eight patterns via tablets placed near the gate. The demonstration, called “Connecting with Tsuzumi-mon Gate,” allowed people to make a special connection with the iconic site, including to take commemorative photos.

A third commemorative demonstration on March 16, called “Connecting with Other Locations,” allowed visitors to the Underground Plaza of the Motenashi Dome near Kanazawa Station to view and experience famous scenes along the Hokuriku Shinkansen line via a wide-angle virtual reality display without the use of goggles. During the demonstration, multiple people simultaneously enjoyed videos, 360-degree images and metaverse spaces, and even the experience of sitting in a Shinkansen driver’s seat while traveling on the newly extended Hokuriku Shinkansen line.

DOCOMO group, under an agreement signed with the city of Kanazawa and West Japan Railway Company in 2019, is working to promote local attractions using 5G and other advanced technologies. Following the recent Noto Peninsula Earthquake on January 1, DOCOMO has strengthened its efforts to work with the people of the Hokuriku region to revitalize the region and support its recovery and reconstruction. Going forward, based on the lessons learned from the event to commemorate the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line’s extension, NTT Com and DOCOMO are committed to providing new value to Kanazawa citizens and customers by incorporating new technologies, including the IOWN APN where possible, to promote the attractiveness of Kanazawa and contribute to the revitalization of the region.
