【5G Millimeter-wave Backhaul System】

This 5G millimeter-wave backhaul system is being developed in collaboration with U.S.-based JMA Wireless to expand 5G networks quickly and inexpensively in areas lacking adequate coverage due to the high cost of installing optical fiber. This system reduces installation time and cost, while minimizing size, weight and energy consumption by combining JMA's base-band technology (XRAN) with Kyocera's proprietary wireless technologies. We hope our collaborative fusion of technologies will help us commercialize this solution at an early stage.

【Laser Module for the Next-generation of EVs】

Only Amoeba Management can enable us to create new value by combining diverse resources acquired through M&As, including highly reliable technologies and research results. One example is our development of headlights and other laser modules for next-generation EVs, a result of collaboration involving KYOCERA AVX Components Corporation, in-vehicle module technology acquired from AB Electronic in 2017, and KYOCERA SLD Laser, Inc.'s high efficiency SMD laser technology, acquired through M&A in 2021. Laser technologies are set to play a vital role in new product development across various fields in the future.

【Inkjet Printing Systems】

The apparel and textile industry is focused on improving its environmental impact, which has historically included industrial wastewater runoff during the fabric dyeing process and the waste of unsold clothing as fashions change. To help solve these issues, the Kyocera Group has combined multiple product lines to develop environment-friendly inkjet printing systems using pigment inks that avoid wastewater issues. Inkjet printheads are developed by Kyocera's Printing Devices Division, while printers and exclusive-use pigment inks are developed by Kyocera Document Solution's Information Equipment Division. The resulting environment-friendly inkjet printing system represents a collaboration between Amoebas that supersedes conventional team frameworks.
