Recent News and Developments

1. Pioneering Field Trials: SoftBank & Nokia
Outdoor 6G Trials Begin: In June and July 2025, SoftBank, partnering with Nokia, became the first telecom operator in Japan to launch outdoor field trials for 6G using the 7GHz band in central Tokyo’s Ginza district. This marks a significant step toward practical 6G deployment.

Technical Details:

Frequency: 7,180–7,280MHz (part of the “FR3” band), identified as a strong candidate for global 6G standardization.

Setup: Three pre-commercial base stations deployed, with Massive MIMO technology to maximize urban coverage.

Goal: Compare the coverage, speed, and radio characteristics of the 7GHz band to existing 5G Sub-6 infrastructure and validate both indoor and outdoor communication performance in dense city areas.

Industry Impact: Success of these trials could establish Japan’s 7GHz band as a core international 6G frequency and significantly improve urban connectivity.

2. Global Collaborations & Standards Leadership
North America–Japan 6G Ecosystem Partnership: In June 2025, the Next G Alliance (NGA, US/Canada) and Japan’s XG Mobile Promotion Forum (XGMF) signed an MoU to accelerate joint initiatives in 6G research, industrial applications, and standard harmonization. The partnership seeks to bring 6G innovations to market more rapidly while aligning global technical standards.

Focus: Strategic alignment on research, use case exploration (especially industrial communications), and sharing insights to push the international 6G roadmap.

3. Technology Milestones
Record Internet Speed: In July 2025, Japanese researchers set a new world record for internet speed, transmitting over 125,000GB per second via advanced fiber optics. This technology showcases the ultra-high-speed backbone that will underpin future 6G infrastructure and demonstrates Japan’s capability in next-generation communications hardware.

Advanced Microchip Research: Japan continues to focus on developing microchips for high-frequency (THz and cmWave) transmissions, critical for future 6G devices and network efficiency.

4. International R&D Partnerships
Japan-India 6G Tests: Japanese firm SSIC, in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad and WiSig Networks, successfully tested new software-defined radio (SDR) chips supporting 5G and 6G wireless technologies. The trials validated interoperability and performance, setting the stage for applications like autonomous vehicles, mission-critical communications, and smart metering by 2026.

Purpose: Advance flexible hardware and accelerate real-world deployment scenarios for 6G.

5. Government and Industry Events
EU–Japan Digital Week (March 2025): Brought together stakeholders to focus on 6G as a strategic area for shared R&D and digital policy priorities.
Ongoing Investment: Japanese government and private sector remain highly committed to 6G, with funding aimed at maintaining a global leadership role.
