NTT DOCOMO plans to commercially operationalize next-generation 5G mobile communications by 2020.

To convey the potential of NTT DOCOMO’s 5G communications (high speed, large capacity, low latency), the product 5G itself was used to live stream content as a verification experiment and the potential was verified through brand experience.

As for first part of this project, we’ve conducted “VOL.01 REDEFINING DISTANCE” in collaboration with Perfume, a world-renowned artist.

17 years passed since Perfume was formed. They have always been together but the three girls performed on different stages for the first time.

Cities of TOKYO, NY, and LONDON.

We’ve connecting these three places over 10,000 km apart from each other, the communications technology combines three respective performances into one without time lag.

NTT DOCOMO built an ultra-high-speed, low-latency network with “5G” technology between three cities.

Furthermore, by using NTT Group’s media synchronization technology called “Advanced MMT”, the images and sounds of 14 cameras in each three cities are synchronized at three levels in terms of network, transmission, and video processing. Without time lag, we realized dance performance which integrated three spaces into one screen, and carried out the live performance to the whole world via the project website.
