About Organization

At the NTN Business Strategy Department we are currently dedicating all our efforts to the commercial launch of our Rakuten Saikyo Satellite Service. Our goal is to offer unprecedented convenience and an inspiring service that exceeds our customers diverse needs and expectations through an innovative approach that integrates our unique satellite communication technology with terrestrial networks.
To create a new communication infrastructure that will become commonplace worldwide in the future we are fostering an environment and system that encourages us to maximize our potential and embrace unprecedented challenges.
We eagerly await applications from talented individuals who are passionate about enjoying this grand challenge with us and revolutionizing the norms of communication.

Our department is primarily responsible for international standardization within the ITU-R and contributes to Rakuten Mobiles frequency strategy. To deploy new services such as SpaceMobile which do not fit within existing regulatory frameworks we must first establish international rules and subsequently adapt domestic regulations.
This process necessitates desktop studies (sharing studies) to confirm that there will be no harmful interference with other wireless communication systems during operation. Based on these results new rules must be developed. For the international rule-making process we engage in negotiations and discussions with representatives from various countries to ensure that the resulting regulations are favorable to Japan. When it comes to modifying domestic regulations coordination with numerous domestic stakeholders including the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) is essential.

- Activities aimed at domestic regulation (e.g. responding to working groups of the Information and Communications Technology Subcommittee under the Telecommunications Council at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC)).
