Introducing JTOWER's New Shared Device

JTOWER, a leader in infrastructure sharing in Japan, has successfully developed a new shared device that redefines energy efficiency and communication quality. This innovative technology is set to be introduced at the Yodoyabashi Gate Tower, a major mixed-use facility in Osaka, slated for completion in December 2025. This entry marks a significant milestone in JTOWER's mission to provide cutting-edge solutions for mobile communication.

Key Features of the New Shared Device

The newly developed shared device boasts several enhancements that set it apart from its predecessors. Designed to support the frequency bands of four major mobile carriers, the device achieves a remarkable 25% reduction in overall energy consumption. Additionally, it offers a 35% reduction in size and weight compared to existing models. By leveraging the extensive know-how gained in prior equipment developments, JTOWER has also addressed the high demand for increased power output.

This combination of features is particularly beneficial for large buildings, where extensive communication systems are necessary. By implementing this new shared device, buildings can significantly reduce energy consumption, free up installation space, and optimize the number of devices needed for effective communication coverage.

At the Yodoyabashi Gate Tower, mobile carriers will begin using the new shared device shortly after its installation, paving the way for improved communication environments in new developments. Moreover, this technology does not only cater to newly constructed buildings; it can also be integrated into existing communication setups during upgrades, thus enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Moving Towards AI Operations

In addition to its hardware advancements, JTOWER is also embracing the future of operations through the implementation of AI technology. By 2026, the company plans to integrate AI into its maintenance and operational workflows, which will work towards standardizing quality and eliminating human error. Furthermore, the application of AI in detecting signs of equipment failure early will enhance the precision of responses to various operational issues.

Benefits of the New Shared Device

The new device's high-output capabilities will enable broader coverage from a single unit, leading to a reduction in the number of devices required. Particularly in large facilities where extensive communication environments need to be established, the introduction of these enhanced devices promises substantial benefits, including:

• - Significant energy savings
• - Space-saving design
• - Optimized number of devices, which reduces installation and maintenance efforts
