1 Objective of the researchIn collaboraticn with "Research and development of district-oriented high level information and communication service applications" Project which is underway in Honjyo area of Saitama prefecture, this research studies practical use of wireless ATM technology through application to the access network in the high level medical information network support system infrastructure in the area.2 Summary of the research result so far and the prospect for further studyThe collaborative project mentioned above has been implementing the regional wireless LAN and the high level medical information network support system in Honjyo city and adjacent townships of Saitama prefecture. In FY1999 we conducted the basic research activities as study and design of the wireless ATM network using optical wireless communication system, basic experiment, and investigation of the system environment together with the research committee of the collaborative project. In FY2000 we implement … More ed the optical wireless ATM network, designed the architecture to interconnect with the network of the collaborative project followed by the functional confirmation through high definition video delivery and MPEG4 audio-visual communication, and verification test through multi-points distance learning. In FY2001 we continued further verification of the integrated network including the optical wireless ATM network by contents delivery through the digital CATV network in neighboring Kamiizumi village as well as MPEG-4 audio-visual contents delivery, which confirmed the practical use of wireless ATM technology. Also we studied the network support system and the service system for the high level medical information as well as the current situation of the medical organizations in Honjyo area in order to look into the possibility of the application of the research system throughout the area. We are going to continue to work together with the collaborative project in social welfare and medical fields to reflect well the results of this research work. Less
