Testbed Research and Development Promotion Center

About the Testbed Research and Development Promotion Center

The Testbed Research and Development Promotion Center develops and operates NICT Integrated Testbed. The Integrated Testbed serves as a platform that provides technology verification and demonstration environments, supporting the entire process from research and development to social implementation in the field of ICT.
During the 6th mid-to-long-term period (starting in FY2026), under the new ICT strategy, the Center will further develop and expand the B5G Innovation Testbed, which enables integrated verification of technologies ranging from networks to services in the Beyond 5G era. NICT Integrated Testbed is widely utilized by researchers and organizations from industry, academia, and government for research and development activities, and it also supports research conducted within NICT.

NICT Integrated Testbed Overview

DCCS (Data Centric Cloud Service)

DCCS
DCCS is a testbed that provides users with a variety of data and their utilizing functions as WebAPIs and aims to enable the development of applications and services that utilize such data and functions.

CyReal Evaluation Environment

CyReal
The CyReal Evaluation Environment enables the verification of ICT technologies by simulating the physical phenomena assumed by IoT and CPS technologies, integrating them with emulated and real systems. This environment can be constructed using the resource of StarBED, a large-scale computing infrastructure.

Large-scale Computer Environment "StarBED"

StarBED
StarBED is a large-scale emulation platform consisting of a group of PC servers. StarBED provides a large-scale verification environment consisting of general-purpose PC servers and switches, allowing users to perform verification using the actual hardware and software implementation. Human resource development and training can also be performed using various software and hardware implementations that provide actual user interfaces.

Beyond 5G Reliable Virtualization Infrastructure

B5GV
In the Beyond 5G Reliable Virtualization Infrastructure, NICT provides a high-speed, high-reliability Next- generation Virtualized ICT service Environment that enables flexible resource allocation through software-defined network functions and virtualization technologies using functions distributed across multiple domestic locations. NICT also provides an Optical Transport WhiteBox Environment that promotes the advancement of optical transmission technology through disaggregation of optical transmission equipment, hardware-software separation, and openness.

Beyond 5G Mobile Environment

B5GM
Beyond 5G Mobile Environment provides three environments: Mobile Application Verification Environment for research, development, and experiment of various Beyond 5G applications; Mobile Network Development Environment for development of mobile core and base station using Open5GCore and Free5GC; and Mobile Base Station Development Environment with 28 GHz band and Sub-6 GHz band base station radio coverage areas.

AI Data Testbed

AI
Eight categories of datasets available for AI Research and Development. The number of datasets in each category and the range of available categories will be expanded over time.
