NTT Communications recently announced that it has succeeded in April 2021 in developing the prototype of the platform that enables interconnection with IDS and the IDS Connector, the core technology of IDS, which constitutes one of the core components of the Gaia-X2 data ecosystem, the data distribution infrastructure that Europe is developing to protect the data sovereignty of its countries and regions.
As such, NTT Com will develop the prototype of the secure international data distribution platform that connects IDS and withTrust, NTT Com’s Smart Data Platform that realizes secure data distribution among companies and organizations, and conduct interconnection trials with partners in Japan and Europe from October this year to March 2022.
Based on the trial results, the commercial version of this platform will be launched in the first half of fiscal year 2022. It will enable secure international distribution of data, including device data in factories, ordering information, CO2 and waste emissions data for product life cycles between the components of the global supply chain, through Gaia-X and withTrust. NTT Com will thus contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by improving industrial efficiency, decarbonization, and resource recycling through data distribution.
In order to protect the rights of data providers in a digital society where IoT, AI, and the cloud have become widespread, Europe’s Gaia-X, a data distribution platform equipped with a mechanism that allows data providers to limit the scope of data disclosure and track data usage history, is to be launched in April 2022.
