MIRAIT, a leading Japanese telecoms engineering firm has partnered with Metawave to deploy millimeter-wave 5G technology throughout Japan.
MIRAIT has agreed to sell and deploy Metawave’s KLONE Passive Reflectors to public and private organizations wanting to gain a competitive advantage using 5G. MIRAIT began working with Metawave in 2019 to test the KLONE reflector in various network configurations.
In June 2020, as part of its "Local 5G Wireless Area Construction Solution" MIRAIT began providing support for companies implementing local 5G systems through its construction consultation services including design, construction, and support for license application.
Currently, the quasi-millimeter wave band, which is assigned to the local 5G, has a blind area due to the propagation of radio waves. To solve this problem, Metawave KLONE reflectors realize efficient and economical wireless area formation.
Since December 2019, in collaboration with Metawave, MIRAIT has been conducting propagation tests, channel analysis, trial manufacture, and performance evaluation of KLONE reflectors as passive reflectors in constructing a local 5G wireless area. KLONE is easy to install and point, requires no power, requires no permits or licenses, and does not spoil the aesthetics of the area.
5G is expected to be widely used not only for telecommunications carriers but also for construction sites, logistics and warehouses, stadiums, hotels, office buildings and the like. MIRAIT will contribute to the formation of efficient and detailed areas using millimeter wave 5G.

As 5G continues to proliferate, the millimeter wave network is the most technically exciting. It provides connection speeds that lends itself to amazing use cases like virtual reality, autonomous driving, and robotics for delivery. The industry needs low-cost, low-power, easy-to-install repeaters and reflectors in order to save on the deployment of new radios.
