NTT R&D and the NTT Group
NTT R&D is a part of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), the holding company that considers management strategies for all NTT Group companies.
NTT R&D carries out fundamental research and development for the entire NTT Group.
NTT R&D's purview is therefore the entire NTT Group, and we are engaged in everything from future-oriented research to launches of commercial services in collaboration with NTT business companies.
NTT R&D's size and technical capabilities also makes it one of the world's leading research institutes.


Roles of NTT R&D
As a research institution, NTT R&D may give the image of being dedicated to basic research with a gaze toward the future. However, NTT R&D has another important role—turning the results of its research into concrete materials for commercial services. NTT R&D conducts a wide range of R&D activities, from basic research to practical applications such as service development and service launches.
