433MHz Situation in Japan
• Originally licensed only to amateur radio
• Also opened for active RFID usage
– Limited to “International Logistics”
– Narrow Bandwidth
• Industries push the government to
loosen the restriction.

Logistics Project
• Carried out at Mitsubishi Motors factory
and car terminal.
• Demonstrating effectiveness of 433MHz
band with a use case of car export.
• Proving the necessity of
– Conforming the world wide standard (e.g.
opening wider band)
– Abolishing the usage limitation for
“international logistics”

433MHz RF Band in Japan
• Suitable frequency band for
industrial logistics
– Long-range
communication (several
hundred meters)
– Reach backside of
barriers
500m
• Utilizable worldwide (except
Japan’s domestic use)
– Expectation for the
revision of Japan’s Radio
Law through Ubiquitous
Special Frequency Zone

Conclusion
• Ubiquitous Special Frequency Zone
project is going successfully and will
complete at the end of FY 2010.
• Next step is to reflect the results to nationwide regulation.
• 433MHz world wide standard and its
active usage is highly appreciated.
