    Digital Transformation Promoted by local 5G in Japan

    With the appearance of the high-speed communication standard "5G", the digital transformation (DX) of industry is making progress in various fields such as manufacturing and distribution. In particular, "local 5G", in which companies and local governments build their own networks without relying on telecommunications carriers, is expected to be a tool that promotes improvements in business models and productivity in factories, agricultural lands, and various facilities. Broadband Association (BA), an NPO consisting of telecommunications carriers and broadcasters, established the "Local 5G Promotion Study Group" in March 2020 to promote broad use of local 5G and conducting information exchanges and empirical research. In this session, Dr. Akihiro Nakao, the chairman of the study group, and the members of the study group will have a view of the digital transformation promoted by local 5G in Japan.
