Stockholm, Sweden – Building on a year of successful customer proof-of-concepts, Net Insight today announces that its long-standing partner ITOCHU Cable Systems has placed a smaller initial order for continuing and broadening network-based, GNSS-resilient time synchronization trials in Japan. The order will be delivered in Q1, 2026.

The momentum for resilient, network-based timing continues to build across the Asia-Pacific region, with Japan standing out as one of the most advanced and strategically significant markets for next-generation mobile and critical infrastructure. Japanese operators are increasingly prioritizing timing accuracy, resilience, and operational simplicity as they evolve toward 5G-Advanced/5.5G and beyond.

The ITOCHU Group has been a trusted partner to Net Insight for many years. In the area of time synchronization, Net Insight works closely with ITOCHU Cable Systems, its system integrator partner, to bring carrier-grade timing solutions to the Japanese market.

“This order marks an important milestone in our continued expansion in Japan together with our partner ITOCHU Cable Systems,” says Per Lindgren, Group CTO and Head of Synchronization at Net Insight. “The strong interest in the region reflects a clear shift among operators toward resilient, GNSS-resilient synchronization architectures designed for scale, reliability, and future services.”

Net Insight’s network-based synchronization technology enables operators to strengthen timing resilience, simplify network architecture, and establish a future-proof foundation for advanced mobile services and new business models.
