Ericsson Japan at a glance
Ericsson in Japan began operations in 1985 ahead of national deregulation of the telecommunication industry. In 1989, Ericsson Japan entered its first memorandum of understanding together with leading mobile operator NTT DoCoMo. Soon after, landmark network contracts with Digital Phone and Digital TUKA groups (today part of the SoftBank Group) graduated Japan as one of Ericsson’s top five markets.
