KDDI has provided 5G services (hereinafter referred to as 5G NSA) from the non -stand -off system since 2020.5G SA is a system that allows communication with only 5G technology, including core equipment (5GC).In addition to high -speed and large -capacity communication, new functions such as networking licging can be implemented.By introducing 5G SA to the industry where wired lines were used in the past, it is expected that wireless work efficiency and lower costs are expected to be reduced.

A part of the video delivered live in "Abema" will be relayed through a 5G SA compatible smartphone.In the video broadcast, it is necessary to secure video transmission quality for relay even in areas where people gather, such as downtown areas.In 5G SA, not only large -capacity video transmissions, but also network slicing to logically separate relay communication, stable video transmission is possible without being affected by other communications.In the future, KDDI aims to realize a new video experience with a sense of realism, such as reducing costs by simplification of relay equipment and multi -angle broadcasts from smartphones.

Cyber Agent Studio Equipment Inc. Yuki Masuda said:"Currently, if 4G LTE cannot be transmitted stably, we have been dealing with a dedicated equipment, but in the previous video broadcast test, it is stable even with a 5G SA network licging even with high line load.It was demonstrated that it could be distributed on the target, and it was more effective than we had thought. In the future, KDDI is in order to deliver high -quality and stable images to viewers even in live broadcasts from the event venue.I look forward to 5G SA. "

In the future, KDDI will continue to promote initiatives to create business use cases and new services in the 5G SA era, and to support video broadcast DX and new video experiences.
