Optage is a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, founded in 1988, with approximately 2,770 employees. The company functions as a telecommunications provider, offering mobile, internet, and TV services.
On February 3, 2026, Optage began operations at its new Sonezaki Data Centre (OC1) in central Osaka. This urban connectivity facility functions as a carrier-neutral hub, aiming to redistribute domestic network traffic away from the Tokyo metropolitan area and enhance national business continuity. Previously, on January 29, Optage launched a new "eo" commercial featuring Ryohei Suzuki, promoting its 10 Gbps ultra-high-speed course, which over 90% of its Kansai residential line customers choose. Earlier that day, the Kansai Electric Power Group's Optage completed and opened the new Osaka data center to the press, with President Masahiko Nabue stating the initiative positions Kansai as a second hub for "Nationwide Worldwide" operations.
