NTT DOCOMO has hit the four million LTE subscriber mark on its Xi network, six weeks after it had surpassed three million users. Its Xi network provides theoretical peak downlink speeds of up to 75 Mbps. The pace of new subscriptions nearly doubled after the launch of new flat-rate price plans and the addition of new Xi-compatible smartphones in June 2012.
NTT DOCOMO, INC., Japan’s leading mobile operator and provider of integrated services centered on mobility, announced today that subscribers to Xi™ (pronounced “crossy”), the company’s extra-high-speed LTE mobile service offering a maximum downlink of 75 Mbps, surpassed four million on July 22.

Xi reached four million subscribers just one and a half months after it surpassed the three million mark on June 8, 2012. The pace of new subscriptions nearly doubled after the introduction in summer 2012 of a Xi-compatible smartphone lineup that offered more variety to meet customer needs.

Going forward, DOCOMO expects to continue strengthening customer satisfaction with Xi-compatible smartphones, mobile Wi-Fi® routers and other devices, as well as beneficial services, such as Xi Talk 24™ for free, unlimited voice calls between DOCOMO users of Xi-compatible smartphones.
