KDDI Brings Japan Telecom Technology to Myanmar
TOKYO, July 4, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - KDDI CORPORATION is implementing telecom business operations in Myanmar, together with Sumitomo Corporation and Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT). As smartphones become widespread in Myanmar, and demand for social networking services (SNS), video sharing services and content use is increasing. MPT has been offering an LTE+ high-speed data transmission service since May 2017, and began offering a reward program in May 2018 as part of plans for ongoing service upgrades.

KDDI has been working to improve the quality of telecom services and service development in Myanmar by conducting a special program in Japan since 2017, in which four select MPT personnel improve their technical knowledge, practical skills, and understanding of Japan's language, culture and telecoms. The program completed its first year on June 29, producing its first graduating class of members who will return to Myanmar, and take up their new positions at MPT.

Students in the program become practiced in telecommunications service know-how, such as network planning, design, construction, testing and operations, and have learned how to devise and propose strategies in other service fields, such as payments and contents. Returning to Myanmar, they will look forward to being assigned by MPT to practical positions where they will be able to put the lessons and experiences of this program to work.

The students from MPT have been carefully selected. After 200 applications are received from MPT employees, a written test and interviews with directors are administered by MPT to select four candidates (two from business departments and two from technical departments) with corporate leadership potential. Based on MPT's needs, KDDI administers its own originally designed training program. The program is scheduled to accept four new trainees for a second course of study to begin this fall.

The program consists of Joint training: Academic studies including an overview of KDDI's business activities, business skills, Japanese language fundamentals, Business training: Practical training and applied study in detail, including visits to each of KDDI's business departments, and Technical training: Training in the complete cycle of planning, design, construction, testing and operation in line with a theme chosen by the trainee.

As a company that always strives to offer exciting new ideas, KDDI will continue to work together with Sumitomo and MPT to increase customer satisfaction in Myanmar by promoting the integration of telecommunications and life design. It is our way of contributing to the development of Myanmar's economy and industry, and improvement of the lives of the people of Myanmar by creating new experience value.
