Future Jobs

Remote Moon Operation

Currently, communication between the Earth and the Moon has significant delays, making real-time remote operations impossible. However, in a future powered by Beyond 5G, digital twins and AI will enable seamless operations without noticeable delays.

Future Peace of Mind

HAPS Recovery

With Beyond 5G, areas that cannot be covered by surface communications, as well as areas in which communications are cut off during natural disasters, can be covered by communications from the sky using HAPS in the future.

A realistic experience booth lets you directly experience how communications are recovered by operating HAPS in regions where communications have been cut off due to natural disasters.

Future Nature

Ocean Cleaning

Currently, wireless communications cannot reach under the sea, and it is not possible to transfer large volumes of data such as video. However, with Beyond 5G, it will be possible to remotely control a robot in the oceans and under the sea from land, thanks to NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) and underwater optical wireless communications.

A theater-style experience booth where you can remotely control an underwater robot from land and engage in activities to maintain the marine environment.

Future Body

Virtual Pitching Room

Currently, it’s not possible to share a human’s sensations with remote locations. However, with Beyond 5G, we will be able to transmit a wide range of data, including even these sensations, thanks to a fusion of Haptic technology and optical communications technology.

An realistic experience booth that you can enjoy playing catch in a virtual space with people from overseas or AI avatars using haptic gloves, allowing them to feel realistic sensations as if they were truly there.

Future Life

Cross Connect City

Currently, automatic linking system mechanisms that can connect various industries cannot be realized. However, with Beyond 5G, system linkage between industries can be optimally realized, and new value can be created, due to these mechanisms being installed in the infrastructure.

A learning experience booth lets you try an optimal service simulation that combines various industry systems in order to solve urban issues.

A simulated experience of a future city space brought about by Beyond 5G.

STEP 1: Explore the technology experience booths within the area and grow your event-exclusive ""Beyond 5G ID"" (your digital twin).

STEP 2: Use the Portal Canvas in this area to transfer the ID to cyberspace.

When it’s time…the future city will connect to cyberspace and the show will begin with your Beyond 5G ID.
