DOCOMO Open Innovation Cloud™ Screen Transmission Demonstration: Maximum of 60 Frames per Second Achieved
On February 28, 2020, Splashtop conducted an experiment to measure screen transmission using NTT DOCOMO Inc.’s 5G-compatible cloud infrastructure, “DOCOMO Open Innovation Cloud™”. In the experiment, Splashtop Business was used. After linking the connection source and destination PCs in a 5G environment, the maximum frame rate (fps) was measured.
Frame rate refers to the number of still images that a video can record in a single second. Just like a flip book, the more frames there are, the smoother the video plays.
Below are the details of the experiment.
- Destination PC: Within DOCOMO Open Innovation Cloud™
- Source PC: LTE connection
- Maximum number of frames: 37 fps
- Destination PC: Within DOCOMO Open Innovation Cloud™
- Source PC: 5G connection
- Maximum number of frames: 60 fps



Going forward, Splashtop will continue to strive for the commercialization of 5G-compatible services.
When we conducted this 5G and LTE experiment, while the LTE results (37 fps) were of course impressive, we were extremely pleased that the 5G experiment achieved 60 fps, a truly wonderful result. Based on these results, we grew eager to think about how to implement 5G solutions in society going forward. These experiment results will be especially useful for creating solutions that combine the DOCOMO Open Innovation Cloud™ service and 5G lines, so we would like to take advantage of them and think of ways for them to be useful to the world.
We feel that going forward, in terms of the direction that 5G society is heading in, there will be a demand for improved industrial sophistication and work-style reforms. Improved industrial sophistication will focus primarily on the manufacturing, construction, and plant industries and will likely enable us to respond to the needs related to workplaces, product inspections, and construction management. For work-style reforms, we believe we can contribute in many ways to the service industry in particular. In the future, we will place ourselves in the position of our end users and encourage a mutual exchange of wisdom so that we can contribute to society by providing even better solutions.
