D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS) announced that its partner, NTT DOCOMO, Japan's largest mobile operator, has deployed a second D-Wave-powered quantum computing application in production. The application optimizes DOCOMO's mobile network operations, specifically the management of Tracking Area Lists (TA-Lists), to improve operational efficiency.
Key Details
- Performance Impact: The new application reduced daily peak location registration signals by 65.3% and lowered paging signals by 7.0%, reducing the overall network signaling load.
- Partner: The deployment expands the production use of D-Wave's technology by NTT DOCOMO, which serves over 93 million subscriptions in Japan.
- Operational Scale: In a representative problem spanning 333 base stations and nine tracking areas, the application completed the optimization in approximately five minutes, with the results being integrated into DOCOMO's daily operations.
