Recently, the volume of data communication on networks has exploded because of big data, 5G, IoT, and other factors, and most of it is supported by communication networks using optical fiber cables At CEATEC 2022, we will introduce a high-density slotless optical fiber cable with small-diameter and light-weight to support for increased transmission capacity in a single cable. In addition, high-density slotless optical fiber cables with small-diameter and light-weight also contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions generated in the process of the manufacturing, transporting, and laying cables because of their small diameter and light weight.

We are developing the 28-GHz millimeter-wave phased array antenna module (PAAM), FutureAccess^TM, and the 60-GHz millimeter-wave wireless communications module. These modules realize compact and light-weight communications devices to support for high-speed and high-capacity communication by using wide-band millimeter-wave, contributing to low-cost and easy network construction. Compared with microwaves currently used for 4G and Wi-Fi, these products can significantly reduce the energy required for transmitting information, contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

As an industry leader, our company has been developing rare-earth-based high-temperature superconductors for more than 20 years. Since high-temperature superconductors can be operated at liquid-nitrogen temperatures, the range of their applications is expanding. As countries around the world move toward carbon neutrality, they are paying attention to technologies that use high-temperature superconductors, such as fusion power generation technology, which does not produce CO₂ during power generation, and MRI (nuclear magnetic resonance imaging) devices for medical applications to reduce power consumption during cooling, as well as the electrification of aircraft. Our high-temperature superconductors with excellent and uniform properties have been highly appreciated by our customers both at home and abroad. We will continue to contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society through high-temperature superconductors.

We Fujikura have a charging connector product with a cable that connects a quick charger to electric cars. In our charging solution, we are currently developing a liquid-cooled charging connector with a cable that can quickly charge as high as 200 kW. This can reduce the charging time to 1/3 of the previous time, which is one of the major challenges for charging infrastructures. As new charging infrastructure is being developed and expanded, Fujikura's quick charging connectors solve charging congestion by shortening charging time. This supports and promotes the spread of electric cars, and is linked to a carbon-neutral society as a whole.
