Japan has amended the telecommunications business
laws and the new laws are very stringent and
transparent. Japan introduced several principles
in all the areas of telecommunications market and
also eliminated the restrictions on foreign
telecommunications carriers. With the entry of
foreign telecommunications lower prices were
introduced and telecommunications services were
expanded across the country. The construction of
telecommunications networks carriers in Japan
made the regulatory frameworks more transparent.

• The telecommunications category in Japan covers
  construction works of telephone/mobile exchanges,
  towers and communication cables construction
  including underground cables and optical fiber
  cables construction. It was observed that there
  is a fluctuation in the Japanese
  telecommunications construction market in the
  past years. The telecommunications construction
  in Japan involves new construction, repair and
  maintenance, refurbishment and demolition and the
  cost type includes construction materials,
  construction equipment and construction services.
• Japan unified communications and collaboration
  (UCC) is state-run telecommunications sector.
  Japans UCC market is divided into four major
  categories based on solution types such as IP
  telephony market, collaborative applications
  market, IP conferencing system market, and IP
  contact center system market. These categories
  analyze the telecommunications market size and
  provide a forecast for each category. The
  stagnant growth in the IP telephony market driven
  by decreased replacement demand for enterprise
  voice infrastructure is the major reason for
  decreased growth in Japan UCC market.

• According to the report, Telecommunications
  (Construction) in Japan Market Analytics by
  Category Cost Type to 2021, IT suppliers in
  Japan are working together with partners to
  provide UCC functions using cloud, strengthen
  integration between Cognitive/Artificial
  Intelligence systems and collaborative systems
  which helps in the growth of Japan UCC market.
  Japan's telecommunications industry is supported
  by high-speed internet connections. Almost all
  the operators enjoyed success with consumers
  following multi-device strategies with abundant
  interest in advanced technology and digital
  applications. Japans economic slowdown may
  witness a downfall in the multi-device strategies
  and is also based on the consumers spending
  limit.
• The future of the Japanese telecommunications
  market will be driven by the Internet of Things
  (IoT). Operators are rushing to use high
  technological base to encourage consumers to opt
  for higher-value digital services. LINE Corp is
  Tokyo-headquartered messaging app provider which
  has announced the launch of a low-cost smartphone
  MVNO services in Japan. It was stated

5

• that these new service will be open to a limited
  number of subscribers and will use the
  infrastructure of host network operator NTT
  DOCOMO. KDDI in Japan lowered the smartphone
  fees by 20 to fight budget oriented consumers
  availing plans that offer up to 5GB of data and
  unlimited voice calling.
• Japans mobile network operators (MNOs) such as
  NTT DOCOMO, SoftBank and KDDI are keen in
  investing into 5G technology that was nationwide
  target by 2023. The three MNOs are launching new
  generation services commercially in 2020, the
  anticipated surge in interest for IoT and
  self-drive cars is expected to help fuel the rise
  in consumer spending. Nokia is signing a
  distributor agreement with Chugoku Electric Power
  Company-owned Energia Communications (EneCom) to
  sell its G.fast fixed ultra-broadband access
  technology in Japan.
• Simple innovations such as advanced wearables and
  fully autonomous vehicles may take a few years to
  emerge. A drastic growth in smartphone usage was
  observed and is a continuing opportunity for all
  telecom

sub-sectors, including wireless and
wireline/broadband carriers, network
equipment/infrastructure companies, and device
manufacturers for positive growth. There is a
huge investment in emerging areas and all the
telecommunication companies are focused on
connectivity-first which allowed carriers to
strengthen their brand and networks. The two
major factors Japans telecommunication is
focusing on are content and the internet of
things (IoT). The delivering enhanced content to
any type of screen is becoming a reality, enabled
by advances in network technology, and higher
speeds. The consumer oriented items comprising of
the IoT includes wearables, connected cars, smart
homes such as lighting, security, entertainment.
The government and enterprise connected items
are smart businesses such as fleet management,
and smart cities such as parking, city lighting,
asset monitoring and tracking, and video security
which are the areas of growth in the coming
years. Japanese consumers demand for digital
technologies

that are easier to control their homes, cars and
will help to drive incremental revenue in the
ecosystem. Telecommunication carriers in Japan
focus on providing data and voice services that
are high quality, reliable, and affordable. The
carriers need to upgrade to their core
connectivity infrastructure to fifth generation
(5G) mobile networks and more funds are require
for areas such as IoT, autonomous vehicles,
industry verticals, MA, and international
expansion. The availability of new technologies
and innovations in Japan may make 2017 the year
of digital transformation for the
telecommunications sector. With the decrease in
the Japanese population, the telecommunications
sector is growing in leaps and bounds. The
telecoms sector in Japan will not be able to
achieve rapid growth without upgrading their
network infrastructures. All the
telecommunications carriers care to develop
advanced networks, offer improved and expanded
services to customers through the use of mobile
8

• phones, network densification, installing more
  fiber infrastructure, and improving spectrum
  efficiency. All the telecommunication carriers
  are software-based network functions with
  technologies such as software defined networking
  (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV).
  This software manages their networks more
  efficiently and effectively.
• Japan Telecommunications mobile market has
  performed better in the year 2017 than the year
  2016 and is expecting a positive growth in the
  coming years. Connectivity and mobility are
  well-established in the Japanese society with the
  ongoing changes and innovations in this sector
  will establish a positive growth in the telecom
  sector in the coming years.
