Japanese operator Rakuten Mobile announced that the population coverage ratio for its 4G network has reached 96%.
Rakuten Mobile noted that the goal had been reached four years ahead of the target set when it initially outlined its deployment plan. This plan had been approved in April 2018 by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).
Rakuten Mobile launched its first commercial services in April 2020. At launch, the telco had a population coverage ratio of 23.4%.
