Japan is one of the early adopters of IoT, with more than 624 million IoT devices currently deployed across the country. Popular IoT services include vending machines, transportation management, and surveillance. With IoT applications expected to multiply driven by local smart cities like Kashiwa-No-Ha, significantly more connections will be added in the future. In the local power and utilities industry alone, 80 million smart meters are to be installed in all Japanese households by 2025, according to the Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.
