KDDI Announces Launch of 1Gbps services

By
KDDI announced yesterday that the company would launch 1Gbps home services with a less expenssive price than its 100Mbps services. It seems, however, the new price level is almost equal to a 100Mbps home service price of NTT, although its initial installation cost may be a bit higher than 100Mbps service subscription. Only the new condition of the new services seems to be a minimum subscription period of two years.

The ten times broader bandwidth will provide us with varieties of new applications services, including simultaneous services of high-definition quality video movie transmissions, video phone talks and data exchange over the internet.

There have been a few other carriers that are providing Giga-bit services, and the KDDI's participation this time will be accelerating to open up a highly competitive new market of broadband services where no one has ever experienced before.

High Performance Ferrite Magnet Motor Developed - No Rare-Earth Required

By
New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has announced that the organization, working together with a group of School of Information Science, Hokkaido University, successfully developed a newly structured rotor segment type of axial-gap motor for use of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).  The output performance of the new motor is comparable with the conventional rare-earth magnet motor although its magnetic material consists of ferrite magnets only without using any rare earth.  A result of actual load testing under a constant torque range shows 51.5KW which is equivalent to conventional HEV battery performance. This technology has been developed as a part of "technology development for the next generation high performance  automobile  battery systems ".   The new technology has strong potential to relieve auto-manufacturers from extremely competitive situation in procurement of the rare-earth material which is supposed to be...
