Group's activities
The Group created a research & development centre in Tokyo in July 2001, in line with its strategy of internationalisation of R&D laboratories.
Tokyo was chosen because of the very innovative Japanese environment notably in the field of advanced mobile and fixed services.
Being involved in these highly innovative areas allows the centres to detect and analyse innovative technologies and usage in order to bring useful and exciting services to Orange customers.
The Orange Labs in Tokyo concentrates its research in five specific areas: Location Based Services (LBS) and 3D TV, Research on new generation broadband mobile services with Beijing, fixed broadband services and the Impact of robotics on telecommunication and home services.
Market & business ecostructure intelligence and innovation transfer is also a major goal. Japan is a leader in terms of penetration of 3 rd generation mobile services (more than 60 millions of subscribers) and FTTH services (more than 8 millions suscribers).
The presence of the active research work in the telecom field at universities, national institutions, telecom careers and electronic manufacturers brings another opportunity to the Tokyo lab. Several R&D partnerships with Japanese companies and universities have been undertaken.
The Orange Labs in Tokyo has already obtained some solid results. For example, Tokyo lab is actively involved in the experimentation on the mobile Location Based Service, launched in December 2006 in France with Japanese companies.
Engineers, multi-cultural minded researchers and engineers in focused fields of research, work to enhance the collaboration with local ecosystem.
