Enhancing Communication Infrastructure at OIMACHI TRACKS with JTOWER

Enhancing Communication Infrastructure at OIMACHI TRACKS

In a significant move towards improving communication environments, JTOWER announced the implementation of infrastructure sharing solutions at the newly developed OIMACHI TRACKS, a massive mixed-use facility directly connected to Oimachi Station. This project, developed by East Japan Railway Company (JR East), spans an expansive area of approximately 259,100 square meters and incorporates offices, hotels, commercial spaces, and residences.

A Transformative Development

OIMACHI TRACKS is positioned as a core urban living collaborative hub, crucial in JR East's initiative to develop the wider Shinagawa area. Notably, it houses the group's first service residence and features a unique outdoor mall-type commercial facility. Additionally, it includes a disaster prevention center capable of accommodating around 3,000 individuals facing difficulties returning home, emphasizing its community-centric design.

JTOWER's Role in Communication Enhancement

As part of this transformative infrastructure, JTOWER has executed a comprehensive indoor infrastructure-sharing solution that integrates multiple mobile carriers' communication equipment into a streamlined system across the entire facility. This approach not only facilitates space-saving and energy-efficient designs but also reduces the environmental impact by minimizing materials and labor required for installation.

Since launching its indoor infrastructure-sharing solutions commercially in 2014, JTOWER has successfully expanded its services to various building categories, including commercial establishments, office buildings, hospitals, and logistics facilities, continuously increasing its portfolio. By 2020, it innovated shared devices accommodating 5G technology, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry. As of March 2026, JTOWER boasts an impressive 841 implemented projects across Japan, emphasizing its commitment to advancing communication technologies.

Benefits of Infrastructure Sharing

Infrastructure sharing enables mobile carriers to collectively utilize network equipment previously developed separately, resulting in significant reductions in costs associated with equipment, operation, and maintenance. This collaborative model enhances network efficiency and contributes to lowering environmental burdens through decreased power consumption, material use, and construction frequency.

Indoor infrastructure sharing is particularly essential in large buildings exceeding 10,000 square meters. By leveraging these shared resources, real estate businesses can benefit from reduced space requirements and lower energy costs, while mobile carriers experience diminished investment and operational expenses. Ultimately, this leads to improved communication environments for users, thus enhancing their overall satisfaction.

Broader Impacts and Future Directions

JTOWER's commitment to infrastructure sharing fosters a more sustainable and efficient communication framework that aligns perfectly with the growing demands of digital society. With a clear vision of “Bring cutting-edge infrastructure sharing from Japan to the world,” JTOWER is set on expanding its services to cover both urban and rural areas effectively, pushing boundaries in the rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape.
