Our company is participating in a Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications project to enhance radio wave utilization efficiency, collaborating with Nippon Denko Kogyo Co., Ltd., Ryosei Co., Ltd., and Sharp Corporation to develop technology. To control the propagation path of radio waves, it is necessary to accurately grasp the three-dimensional positions of radio transmission and reception equipment. Therefore, we identify potential radio wave sources through image processing and create a real-time database of their three-dimensional positions. From the post-measurement results using radio direction sensors, it becomes possible to identify and track the communication target devices.
