Japan plays a crucial role in terms of technology innovation for global Next
Generation Networks (NGN) solutions. Japan needs to reassess its medium to
long-term technology/business direction to optimize market opportunities.
Mind Commerce projects Internet Traffic Demands in Japan to reach 2,800 Gbps
by 2017. This meteoric demand entails a necessity of an ultra hi-speed network
to support 100 billion terminals, more reliable security features, less power
consumption, and personalized service on demand. In 2012 key players launched
a full-scale roll out of broadband and ubiquitous services at the onset of
increased demands for smart phones and tablet-type handsets.
This research evaluates Japan's NGN market 2012 - 2017 with consideration to
the country's migration towards ubiquitous network convergence based on
i-Japan Strategy set to launch in 2015.
Key Findings:
Japan Internet traffic demand grows by 20% CAGR 2007-2012
Japan subscribers using mobile phone to access the Internet to reach 97.4%
in 2017
Japan's combined FTTH and ADSL connections shall achieve 19.4 million by
the end of 2017
Japan broadband wireless networks has/will continue to be anchored by a
combination of WiMAX, LTE and 4G (general) infrastructures
