Expected use cases with new services and applications on 5G, that are expected to be realized in 2020, will also be presented in various demonstrations and seminars. There will be many exhibits only shown in this WTP 2018.

Flexible Factory Project

Flexible Factory Project (FFPJ) is a collaborative initiative lifting the boundaries among business fields with an aim to offer safe and secure wireless communications in factories where the expert of wireless communications is rarely assigned. Moreover, Flexible Factory Partners Alliance (FFPA) was established for returning the results from FFPJ’s research into the manufacturing site and for promoting the popularization of them. In WTP 2018, the latest outcomes of FFPJ and FFPA will be presented through exhibition and seminars.
