Photonic System Solutions
電気通信大学認定ベンチャー
PSS was established on January 25, 2008 to provide high speed, parallel optical solutions based on multiple years of optical technology results from the Kodate research lab at the science faculty of Japan Women’s University.
Subsequently part of a University of Electro-Communications venture, in 2011 we moved to the University of Electro-Communications in Chofu where we celebrated our tenth anniversary on January 25, 2018.
We develop new technologies such as our ultra-high speed image/voice authentication system “FReCs” Series that automatically detects illegal content and enables centralized management of verification and deletion applications, and provide other products and services based on our own proprietary optical technology.
Please see below for more details.
“Providing society with research results from our core university optical technology”
“Spreading technology through optical information management systems”
“Creating new technology solutions and value by women”
“Promoting participation of women in science and developing places for them”

The “FReCs” system provides total management support from identifying illegal videos to deletion. While feeding back know how from 10 years of operation, we aim for effective high stability easy use management. We respond flexibility to client requests and adapt to daily changes in all types of video sharing sites.
Since 2013 we have also been providing our high performance, independently developed illegal sound source detection system “FReCsMe”.
The technology can be adapted to other areas as well. We wish to contribute by developing technology from our university research institute collaborations that can contribute to society.
