NTT DOCOMO Ventures, Inc., a prominent investment arm managing dedicated funds, has made a strategic investment in dhost Global, Inc., an enterprise specializing in indoor infrastructure sharing across Southeast Asia. dhost, a subsidiary of EXEO Group, Inc., builds and operates indoor telecommunications facilities, addressing the growing demand in populous regions like Indonesia where outdoor base stations are insufficient. As 4G smartphone usage rises, dhost’s service gains importance for providing indoor connectivity in large buildings. This investment aligns with the NTT Group’s objective to resolve social issues and foster startup collaboration. Concurrently, a basic agreement between NTT East and dhost explores potential infrastructure sharing partnerships and business alliances in Southeast Asia, with a focused interest in digital advertising platforms in Vietnam.
