Introduction of NTT DoCoMo's "Femtocell" and the latest technology "Tactile sensation media" anywhere "Bali 3"

The most troublesome when using mobile phones is to become "out of the service area" where radio waves do not enter, but NTT DoCoMo's booth at Wireless Japan 2009 will exhibit a small base station device "Femtocell" that can be used at home It was done.

Also, in addition to the femtocell which can realize "Bali 3" at any time, what is called "haptic media" was displayed as the latest technology, but what kind of thing is it?

This time we will explain with movies.

Details are as below.
At the booth of NTT DoCoMo, "Femtocell base station equipment" was being exhibited. By connecting to the existing internet line, the femtocell base station apparatus can form a FOMA area dedicated to himself or herself, so that it is possible to use stable voice call and packet communication


By using femtocell it is also possible to confirm the family at home


Because the newly developed femtocell base station equipment supports uploading up to 14 Mbps, mobile phones can realize high-speed communication with maximum downlink of 14 Mbps


This is a femtocell base station device


Somehow it looks like a wireless LAN router


Also in the "haptic media" that was exhibited at the docomo booth there was a long line sequence


Waiting for 30 minutes


This is the master device of the "tactile sensation media"


Monitor that can check communication status


When stimulation is applied to the master device


It is a mechanism of "haptic media" to use the wireless communication to convey the same feeling as the applied stimulus to a slave device located far away


Demos were performed using various items


Demonstration of using the stimulus transmitted from the master device to play the guitar on the slave device


It may be easier to understand when you actually see a demonstration of "haptic media" in a movie.

I wonder if you are planning to do research on such technologies, and still consider installing it on the mobile phone itself in the future. I am concerned about future NTT docomo trends.
