Net One Systems Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Shinagawa-Ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Osamu Sawada) will partake in establishing Live E！ Consortium and aims to create new businesses and support safe and secure global environment. Live E！ Consortium will collect environmental data recorded on Digital Thermometer Screens through utilizing computer networks.
In addition to the data usages for environmental protection measures such as anti-global warming, Live E！ aims to actively promote data usages in the fields of education, public services and business applications. Net One will support data collection and creating information platform to organize the data, and help promote environmental protection through network technologies.
Live E！ plans on offering various projects and demonstration experiments including demonstrations at NETWORLD+INTEROP to be held between June 6 to 10.
■Background for foundation
Environmental changes including global warming, climatic anomalies, and disasters have great impact on civilian lives. Disaster predictions and environmental improvements may be possible through awareness and analysis of environmental data on a real time basis and researching on the correlations between environmental data and disasters.
Digital Thermometer Screens installed in various areas are weather-monitoring devices with high Internet connectivity. Through IPv6/IPv4 network, large amount of data maybe collected at low cost and Live E！ will study that the collected data may be used not only for climatic forecasts, but for various other purposes. Collaborative demonstration researches by multiple research/educational institutions, companies, and mass media, will lead to establishment of new businesses and highly value added contents and contribute to creation of safe and secure global environment.
