Investment of 2.2 trillion yen in 10 years for maintenance of Softbank 5G base station, etc. November 4, 20:26
Softbank, a major mobile phone company, has announced that it will invest 2.2 trillion yen over the next 10 years to popularize high-speed, large-capacity communication standard 5G.
Mobile phone companies have decided to invest huge amounts of money one after another, accelerating the development of 5G base stations and other facilities.
Softbank President Ken Miyauchi held a press conference in Tokyo on the 4th.
In this, President Miyauchi said, "If 5G is connected all over the country, local governments, companies, factories, logistics, etc. can all be digitally shifted. We are prepared to thoroughly invest in next-generation networks." The company has announced that it will invest 2.2 trillion yen over the next 10 years to increase the number of 5G base stations to 350,000.
The service of 5G has started in earnest this spring, but the problem is that the usable area is still limited.
Among major mobile phone companies, KDDI plans to invest 2 trillion yen in the development of base stations for 5G and the next communication standard in the 10 years until 2030, and NTT DoCoMo will also invest 5G in the 5 years until 2023. We plan to invest 1 trillion yen in the development and research and development of our base stations.
Mobile phone companies have decided to invest huge amounts of money one after another, and they are fiercely competing for the maintenance of base stations.
