What is different from the normal 5G service that the Sony Group enters "Local 5G for individuals"?

Sony Wireless Communications has announced that not only Nuro Wireless 5G for individuals but also local 5G businesses for corporations will be developed in the future.

　The Sony Group has established Sony Wireless Communications, a subsidiary, and has entered the local 5G in November 2021. The local 5G is not a company, but a broadband line for apartment housing, which provides a broadband line for the FWA (Fixed Wireless Access), which is a service "Nuro Wireless 5g" in the spring of 2022, which has attracted a lot of attention. ing. [Image] Start a separate company while having a Sony Network Communications with a fixed broadband "NURO" and a mobile communication service "NURO Mobile" developed as an MVNO under the home router provided by NURO Wireless 5G. Did you provide services using local 5G? And where is the aim to use local 5G for consumers? We interviewed Jun Watanabe, President and CEO of Sony Wireless Communications.

Focusing on network freedom, for FWA, which is mainly served

　What is the background of the Sony Group's use of local 5G? Mr. Watanabe says that NURO Wireless 5G is not a service that is mainly intended for local 5G communication. In Nuro Wireless 5G, the Sony Group has the aim of providing services centered on entertainment with strengths, and it is said that it has been used as part of communication, and it is a form of use local 5G. The fact that Sony Wireless Communications was established is also a great aim to provide services different from Sony Network Communications near communication. At the moment, the service content of Nuro Wireless 5G has not been revealed very much, but if you use wireless communication as a FWA as a FWA, there is also a method of renting a line as an MVNO like NURO Mobile. It should have been thought. Nevertheless, why did you choose a means of laying a local 5G infrastructure yourself? Watanabe replied that the reason is that "the 5G limit of 5G is far from the base station." Nuro Wireless 5G is likely to be a service that emphasizes content such as entertainment, but it is necessary to put a base station closer to users in order to provide rich content without delay. In fact, Mr. Watanabe has said that it is great to use MEC (multi -access edge computing), one of the indispensable technologies in realizing a 5g of low delay by using local 5G, and entertainment. In consideration of the user experience centered on, it seems that the use of local 5G is suitable. In addition, Nuro Wireless 5G can be operated at a standalone (SA) composed of 5G dedicated devices at first 4..8-4.It is operated using the 9GHz band. Therefore, not only MECs, but also "network smoothing", which can provide networks according to the application by virtually dividing the network, can be used, so that the network freedom is much higher than renting other companies. Will work. Generally, the communication speed is important in providing FWA services, so it is necessary to operate with 4G and costs more, but it is costly 28GHz for local 5G that is wider and high -speed communication. It seems that the benefits are greater if you use the obi. It seems that the company initially did not choose that, not only because of cost problems, but also because he would like to provide services that make full use of the 5G network performance. Such commitments can be seen from the terminal side. Nuro Wireless 5G is a mechanism that can be used by installing a dedicated home router in an apartment house, but this router is not a logo on products developed by outside companies, but developed in -house. It will be. Therefore, it has functions that are not found in normal home routers. The specific functions were not revealed before the service started, but the Sony Group has Sony under the umbrella and has worked on a smartphone "Xperia", so it has a track record of developing wireless devices, so the device side. It can be said that it was possible to differentiate with its own function.
