JTOWER Enhances Communication Infrastructure at Yodoyabashi Station One

In a groundbreaking project to improve communication infrastructure, JTOWER, a leader in shared telecommunications solutions in Japan, has collaborated with Central Japan Land Development, Keihan Holdings, and Mizuho Bank to improve connectivity at the new Yodoyabashi Station One.

The Landmark Development

The Yodoyabashi Station One is an impressive mixed-use facility that combines the former sites of the Nittoshi Yodoyabashi Building and the Keihan Midosuji Building. This 150-meter tall urban landmark boasts 31 above-ground floors and three basement levels. Designed under the concept of "Life Connecting Oasis," the facility hosts offices, restaurants, and shops, contributing to a vibrant urban experience. As of June 23, 2025, the building will gradually start welcoming tenants on its office floors, with initial commercial outlets already opening their doors.

Revolutionizing Connectivity with Infrastructure Sharing

JTOWER's tactical approach involved the integration of telecommunications equipment from multiple carriers into a single indoor infrastructure sharing solution. This innovative technology supports both 4G and 5G networks, significantly enhancing the communication environment. By utilizing infrastructure sharing, JTOWER not only optimizes space and reduces energy consumption but also minimizes material costs and labor, leading to highly efficient and environmentally friendly network setups. The improved connectivity translates into an elevated customer experience, which is crucial for businesses operating within this dynamic facility.

A Proven Track Record

Since launching its indoor infrastructure sharing service in 2014, JTOWER has established a strong presence in a variety of facilities, including commercial spaces, office buildings, hospitals, and event venues. By 2020, the company had completed the development of shared devices compatible with 5G technology, marking a critical point in its service expansion. As of March 2025, the count of installed properties had reached 680 across the country, affirming JTOWER's status as a leader in the industry.

Understanding Infrastructure Sharing

Infrastructure sharing streamlines the telecommunication process by allowing multiple carriers to share network equipment. This reduces the costs associated with setup, maintenance, and operation, offering a more efficient network establishment. Furthermore, it minimizes environmental impact by lowering energy consumption and reducing material usage through combined efforts.

What is Indoor Infrastructure Sharing?

In larger buildings exceeding 10,000 square meters, the need for effective indoor mobile signal coverage increases significantly. By leveraging infrastructure sharing, real estate developers benefit from space savings, reduced electrical costs, and simplified management, while telecom operators enjoy decreased capital and operational expenditures. For mobile users, this results in improved communication environments and increased satisfaction.

Examples of JTOWER's installed facilities include:

- Office Buildings: Otemachi One, Shibuya Sakura Stage, Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower
- Commercial Facilities: Aeon Group stores, MIYASHITA PARK, Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport
- Healthcare: Ehime Prefectural Niihama Hospital, Toranomon Hospital
