From this magazine onwards, we will be rotating the slot and featuring guest editors Rfrom across CWT. I’m privileged to be the first one of many to take this coveted position. As SVP and Chief Experience Officer at RoomIt by CWT my role is to ensure we match travellers with the right room at the right rate, while helping companies control their budgets and improve travel oversight. We touch on this in our feature on recent developments in the hotel market (page 18). In the same article, we show how innovative travel managers can achieve savings beyond negotiated rates at the same time as still maintaining compliance in travel programmes. In this issue we also compare the much-talked and -written about Millennials with their younger counterparts, Generation Z (page 8). We discover how they might shape the corporate travel of the future and what they expect in a travel programme, from hotel stays to long-haul flights.

NII Start Operation 400 Gbps Tokyo-Osaka Link to Speed Up
NEWS RELEASE December 6, 2019 NII start operation 400 Gbps Tokyo-Osaka link to speed up SINET, ultra-high speed network supporting Japan’s academic research: Putting world-leading long-distance 400 Gbps link into practical operation The National Institute of Informatics (NII, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Dr. Masaru KITSUREGAWA, Director General) has constructed a long-distance link with a world’s top-class transmission speed of 400 Gbps between Tokyo and Osaka as part of an academic information network, SINET5(*1). The existing SINET5 provides 100 Gbps links covering all of Japan’s prefectures. The new link has a capacity four times that of existing links. It will come into service on December 9. The purpose of constructing this 400 Gbps link is to increase the transmission capacity between the Kanto area centering on Tokyo and the Kansai area centering on Osaka and thereby to resolve the tight capacity situation amid soaring demand for data communication between the two regions where universities, research organizations, and other entities are concentrated. This implementation removes the issue about network resources being occupied by high-volume data communication and ensures stable communication. The updated infrastructure meets demands for further data increases and new high-volume data transmissions in inter-university collaborations and large research projects.
