Samsung Electronics announced the company is successfully supporting NTT East’s private 5G network expansion with its network solutions — including the cloud-native 5G Macro Core and Radio Access Network (RAN) — unlocking new and diversified use cases for enterprises across various industries in Japan.

This commercial service expansion by NTT East follows the companies’ ongoing collaboration since the announcement of NTT East’s selection of Samsung as its private 5G network solutions vendor in March 2022. The companies have completed several demonstrations and tests to optimize Samsung’s private 5G network solutions for NTT East customers, leading up to this successful commercialization.

"We are excited to expand our collaboration with NTT East in the buildout of robust and reliable private 5G networks in Japan,” said Satoshi Iwao, Vice President and Head of Network Division at Samsung Electronics Japan. “Samsung’s end-to-end 5G network solutions deliver on the capabilities required to meet the unique requirements of each enterprise. We look forward to continue working together with NTT East to bring enhanced connectivity to power next-generation solutions that help businesses build a smarter future.”
