Local 5G to support on-site demonstrations at Shin-Kawasaki office

On February 18, 2020, Fujitsu announced that it had received Japan’s first private 5G radio station provisional license, granted by the Kanto Bureau of Telecommunications. The license permits the operation of local 5G radio waves within Fujitsu’s Shin-Kawasaki Technology Square office in Kawasaki City, Japan.

To advance the development and validation of next-generation wireless technologies, Fujitsu plans to open the “FUJITSU Collaboration Lab” at the same site in spring 2020. The lab will serve as a space for demonstrating private 5G use cases in collaboration with customers and partner companies, enabling co-creation of new manufacturing and business applications.
