TOKYO-May 12, 2016-Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, NASDAQ: IIJI, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced that it has added the SIM-free VAIO Phone Biz smartphone from VAIO, featuring Windows 10 Mobile through its IIJ Mobile Supply Service, which offers SIM-free devices for business. The VAIO Phone Biz goes on sale today. IIJ also began sales today for USB-type data communications device, BESTEK's 520BU and NCXX's UX312NC, which it currently offers on a rental basis as part of IIJ Mobile Service. IIJ will also begin selling Fujisoft's FS020U in late June.

The VAIO Phone Biz is a smartphone that comes with the Windows 10 Mobile OS, making it highly compatible with other Microsoft products.
