The system leverages IOWN all-photonics network technology, which has demonstrated the ability to resolve network issues commonly faced by cloud-based endoscopy systems.

This development follows a joint experiment that began in March, combining Olympus’ endoscopy technology with NTT’s high-speed, low-latency APN technology.

The companies plan to collaborate on the full-scale implementation of the cloud-based endoscopy system and aim to enhance the performance and functionality of endoscopy systems through cloud technology, according to the release.
