Introduction of APN IOWN 1.0 at Shibuya Sakura Stage in December 2023 was part of the Greater Shibuya project, a significant redevelopment initiative in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.

The objective is to deliver a sophisticated user interface and unparalleled user experiences, ensuring smooth and intuitive communication. The use of IOWN’s dedicated lines guarantees top-notch security for confidential corporate meetings involving sensitive information.
Arsaga Partners, known for driving digital transformation in Shibuya, has relocated to Shibuya Sakura Stage to capitalize on APN IOWN 1.0’s innovative network capabilities. The company remains dedicated to delivering innovative solutions for users in the area.
Meanwhile, Tokyu Land Corporation has made environmental management a key priority, transitioning to 100% renewable energy for all its facilities, including office buildings and commercial establishments. The company’s commitment to environmental sustainability extends to biodiversity conservation efforts through urban greening initiatives.
NTT Corporation and DOCOMO view IOWN as essential for building an inclusive and sustainable society. Their focus on research and development of high-speed, high-capacity data transmission infrastructure using optical technology underscores their dedication to pushing the boundaries of traditional networks.
In conclusion, the collaborative efforts between these companies represent a significant stride towards revolutionizing telecommunication services in Shibuya and setting the stage for future advancements in the field.
