en.Wedoany.com Reported - NTT Japan announced on June 23, 2026, that it will build new data centers in Osaka and Fukuoka, Japan, for next-generation artificial intelligence applications. These two facilities will connect Fukuoka and Osaka, where overseas access points are located, with Tokyo, accelerating the global deployment of NTT Group's AI-native infrastructure "AIOWN."

The "Osaka South Data Center," planned for construction in Chuo Ward, Osaka City, will become another urban network data center in the Osaka area, following Dojima and Sonezaki, positioned as infrastructure to support generative AI applications. Some floors of this data center will be equipped with liquid cooling equipment and will be directly connected via optical fiber to existing data centers in the Dojima and Sonezaki areas. Additionally, the facility will connect to data centers in Fukuoka, Tokyo, and suburban areas via the APN connection service "All-Photonics Connect (APConnect)." The IT load of this data center is 8MW (approximately 8 megawatts), with completion planned for fiscal year 2031.

The "Hakata Data Center," newly built in Fukuoka City, will be developed as an AI-type data center directly connected to submarine cables serving as an Asian network gateway. Some floors of this facility will also support liquid cooling and will be connected to Osaka and Tokyo via APConnect. The IT load of this data center is 5MW (approximately 5 megawatts), with completion planned for fiscal year 2029.
