Fujitsu Granted Japan’s First Private 5G License akihabaranews.com

Fujitsu (Tokyo) — Fujitsu has announced that it was granted Japan’s first private 5G radio station provisional license by the Kanto Bureau of Telecommunications.
As a next step, Fujitsu will establish a radio station emitting private 5G radio waves in order to verify private 5G network systems at its Shin-Kawasaki Technology Square office in Kawasaki, Japan.
In the spring of this year, Fujitsu will also move to open a “Fujitsu Collaboration Lab,” which will serve as a dedicated co-creation space for collaborating with customers and partners to workshop and verify use cases utilizing private 5G.
The introduction of private 5G, which allows companies and local governments to operate their own, ultra-fast private networks, is expected to accelerate business innovation in response to the diverse needs of individuals and communities throughout society.
Despite the innovative potential of this technology, however, the introduction of private 5G requires specialized knowledge in the construction and operation of advanced networks as well as preparing appropriate test environments.
