JPIX History and Future

What's Crossing Next?

Drawing out the unlimitedpotential of the Internet.

By connecting networks around the world,
we combine the ideas of companies and people with our own,
and will co-create value that has not yet been seen by anyone.
As a bridge, as a crossing, as an unknown pioneer.

To make a better future together.
What’s Crossing Next?

The existence of the Internet has become as ordinary as water and air.
We cannot see the Internet, so we don't usually pay attention to it.
Furthermore, that also gives us the illusion the Internet is infinite.
However, that is not the case.
Resources are always finite and the same goes for the Internet.
The number of IoT devices will exceed 40 billion by FY2024.
That number will then continue to increase beyond that point.

The Internet may play the role of saving someone's life as their closet lifeline in the event of a disaster.
We need to develop an environment where the Internet can be used stably in this era.
That is our job.

The world of the Internet is a universe which still holds unknown possibilities.
It has the power to accelerate every business, and an opportunity is to create a big market.
No one knows what the next golden egg will be.
However, we are in a place where we can take on such challenges.

Since the founding of the Internet in Japan, we have been a leading company.
With its passion as an unknown pioneer in mind, JPIX is chasing dreams with everyone.
