Fujitsu to Spin Off its Access Network Development Business as a Wholly Owned Subsidiary

Tokyo, June 21, 2012

Fujitsu announced today that it has decided to spin off its access network development business focusing on modems for mobile phones into a newly established company, Access Network Technology Limited, as of August 1, 2012. The decision was made at a meeting of its Board of Directors held today. The spinoff, to be conducted by Fujitsu Limited as an entirely independent action, will be achieved through a simple incorporation-type separation, and therefore certain details have been omitted from this disclosure.

1. Objectives of the Corporate Spinoff

With advances in ubiquitous networking and cloud computing, the ICT market is shifting toward networks as the pillar of society's infrastructure. Particularly as mobile phones and tablets become the primary front-end interfaces with the network, wireless technologies are becoming increasingly important and diverse. As a result of the rapid growth of the smartphone market and the expanding volume of data traffic, further network advancements have become essential. It is expected that the LTE standard will be widely adopted and that there will be a shift toward 5G networks. In this context, there is increasing demand for products relating to mobile phones and base stations, and the importance of wireless technologies—an area in which Fujitsu has extensive experience—is growing.

In light of these trends, and to enable Fujitsu to deliver the wireless technologies customers need in global markets, the company has decided to spin off through a simple incorporation-type separation its access network development business into a newly established company.

While considering a variety of possibilities, including alliances with other companies to expand the scale of the business, the new company will broadly provide powerful wireless technologies, and Fujitsu will offer competitive products in global markets.
