Continue to protect the quality of communication infrastructure Pride's Venture Spirits -Nikkei Crostek SPECIAL

Archiza Networks, which gave birth in December 1990, has grown in one track for more than 30 years from the Japanese telecommunications industry.At the time of its founding, the dedicated communication measuring instrument mainly supplied by overseas manufacturers was very expensive.The founder and the current chairman Takashi Hayashi, the current chairman, came up with the idea that if the shape that was inserted into a general -purpose personal computer would be able to provide a cheaper measurement function, the company asks the world to accept the idea.Was established.Alchiza Networks, who continues to challenge cutting -edge technology with innovative ideas without forgetting the soul at the time of its founding, has a history that has responded to customer needs by providing unique research and development and timely products and services.It is a company that has.

One of the major turning points was the entry into wireless communication technology."At the time of its founding, it provided a cable communication measuring instrument and a test environment. About 20 years ago, the communication carrier began to provide 3G services to develop test equipment for wireless communication on mobile phones.I entered, "said Hideki Nagai, General Manager of the Division of the company's executive officer, Mobile Product Business Division.

It is said that the development of wireless communication measuring instruments was literally a "reckless challenge" for the company."Because the base is completely different from the wired technology, it is a start from zero, and the difficulty is much higher. Still, we dare to respond to the voices of customers seeking wireless test equipment and environment.I decided to take a challenge. I learned the technology and developed a test product of a radio base station. I am working on 3G, 4G/LTE, and now 5G, "Nagai says.While being puzzled by the completely new technologies, the venture spirits of each employee have promoted the development of wireless communication measuring instruments as the days of repeating trial and error continue.

At that time, there were few domestic companies that provide devices and services that test wireless communication, and they had to rely on overseas companies.On the other hand, the demand for communication quality required by Japanese users is much higher than overseas.As a result, test equipment and services in line with domestic communication circumstances were needed for Japanese communication carriers.In order to maintain high communication quality, it is natural that domestic manufacturers seeking to develop wireless communication measuring instruments increased, and expectations for Archiza Networks, which have accumulated achievements with wired test technology, have increased.
