NIKKEN Rental Starts Starlink Business Rental Operations

On June 8, 2026, NIKKEN Rental Co., Ltd., located in Minato, Tokyo, announced a strategic collaboration with NTT Docomo Business, marking the launch of Starlink Business rental operations. This initiative aims to deliver swift and flexible communication solutions to meet the growing demand for reliable connectivity.

Background and Necessity

In recent years, the acceleration of digital transformation (DX) and the increasing importance of disaster preparedness have made the provision of stable communication environments essential for business activities. Particularly, the need for communication solutions in regions with challenging infrastructure, such as mountainous areas, remote islands, and disaster-stricken zones, has surged. The Starlink satellite communication service responds to this demand with innovative technology.

Overview of the Service

The Starlink service utilizes low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites at an altitude of approximately 550 kilometers to deliver broadband internet. Compared to traditional geostationary satellites, Starlink offers significantly faster speeds and lower latency. Importantly, this service operates independently of terrestrial infrastructure, making it ideal for areas lacking robust communication networks and serving as a backup during emergencies.

Installation is straightforward: users only need to set up the antenna and power supply, allowing for rapid implementation without the need for complex construction work.

Key Features

1. High-speed, low-latency communication enabled by low Earth orbit satellites.
2. Communication possible with just an antenna and power source, eliminating the need for ground infrastructure.
3. Reliable communication during disasters, ensuring connectivity in crisis situations.
4. Easy installation: users simply connect the antenna without requiring extensive construction.
5. Versatile communication solutions accommodating both wired and wireless connections.

Accompanying this service are satellite communication sets comprised of the compact Starlink Mini antenna and a power storage box, designed to facilitate hassle-free operations.

By providing stable communication environments across diverse locations and applications, NIKKEN Rental not only aims to enhance operational efficiency for its clients but also fortify their business continuity capabilities. Moving forward, NIKKEN Rental remains committed to addressing societal challenges through the provision of high-value-added services that respond to modern needs.
