This document summarizes the network architecture of local 5G service providers that provide Japan's private 5G (assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, 4.7GHz & 28GHz) network construction and operation services, customer status, and 5G equipment supply vendors.

A company that has secured a local 5G frequency can 1) build and operate a local 5G network directly, or 2) receive services from a local 5G service provider. The current trend in Japan is that 5G equipment is expensive, so the capex burden is high for companies to directly purchase/build, and general companies lack know-how/professional knowledge regarding the design, construction, and operation of 5G networks, which are mobile communication technologies.

In order to preoccupy the market, the services of specialized local 5G operators who build and operate local 5G networks are emerging in order to preoccupy the market.
