Internet services provider IIJ operates some of the largest network and server infrastructure in Japan. Each year, we analyze a year's worth of Internet trends based on information obtained through the operation of this infrastructure and report on it in the IIR. This year, we again analyze changes in trends over the past year from the perspective of BGP routes, DNS query analysis, IPv6, and mobile.
LPWA technologies for IoT communications are something IIJ has long been focused on and an area in which it has provided numerous solutions based on LoRaWAN®, an unlicensed band protocol that is easy to deploy. The 2022 revision of Japan's Radio Act also made it possible to use Wi-Fi HaLow™ in Japan. The report discusses our work with LoRaWAN® to date, describes the features of the new Wi-Fi HaLow™ technology, presents results from our performance evaluations in the field, and discusses future prospects.
