ICT Challenges in Building Smart Networks
Operational Deployment
What kind of large-scale network should be built?
‣ Configuring and registering smart meters and communications devices
‣ Network design (communications routes, etc.)
⇒ Manual construction requires massive work (is practically impossible)
How to respond to changes in surrounding
environment?
‣ Changes in towns and other installation environments
‣ Changes in network environment due to impact of weather and
interference
⇒ There is no way to monitor the operational environment in real-time
How to detect failures and perform maintenance?
‣ Alive monitoring of communications devices and network quality
monitoring
‣ Determining spots where network failures can easily occur
⇒ Currently, engineers rush to the scene after a failure occurs
(resulting in loss until failures are resolved)
Because networks are
massive and constantlychanging,
they are
impossible to design
Operations cannot be
handled using
conventional centrallymanaged
networks
A new technological approach is required for enabling smart networks

Ad Hoc Technology
By employing smart meters and communications
devices, the technology automatically builds a
maintenance-free network connecting the devices.
Fujitsu’s Smart Network Solution
Smart Meter Management System
A solution enabling the efficient collection of meter
information and network visualization from a data
center.
Meets smart network requirements through the integration
of communications and information technologies

Fujitsu’s ad hoc technology is being employed in field
testing projects by multiple power companies

Features of Fujitsu’s Ad Hoc
Communications Technology
Automatic Construction of Large-Scale Networks
‣ Enables the automatic configuration of a large-scale
network (with over 1,000 nodes per gateway)
‣ The network can be easily expanded while stabilizing
communications quality by adding additional gateways.
Quick Network Auto Restoration
‣Each node monitors and studies the quality of communications
with surrounding nodes. Depending on the circumstances,
communications routes can be instantly switched to optimal
routes.
‣In the event of a failure, individual nodes can select alternative
paths to automatically restore and maintain communications.
‣Can be used as emergency infrastructure in the event of a
large-scale disaster.
First function of its kind in the world

Features of
the Smart Meter Management System
Efficiently collects large volumes of data and displays in
real-time various statistical information
‣Accurately and efficiently collects and manages large volumes of nth
data points.
‣Displays statistical information like meter reading rates, recovery
statistics, usage quantities, etc.
‣Can display statistical information by area, by meter, or by period of time.
Smart Network Visualization
‣By displaying a geographical map of the current routing information,
unreliable routes and equipment can be visualized.
‣Efficiently manages the status of a massive number of meters.
Unique Fujitsu functionality (supports ad hoc networks)
‣Installation simulations allow users to quickly increase the efficiency
of network construction and inspections.
Provides the core functionality that will be newly required when deploying smart meters
