Case Studies

SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. (hereinafter “Square Enix”) is a leading Japanese game maker known for creating globally popular RPG game series with its purpose: " Creating New Worlds With Boundless Imagination to Enhance People’s Lives." Renowned for stunning graphics and intricate storytelling, Square Enix continues to captivate game players worldwide.

To further enhance its service quality, Square Enix has chosen B3 Spectrum. We spoke with Mr. Tatsuya Mori from the IT Infrastructure Group in the Information Systems Department to learn more about the background and objectives behind this decision.

A Network Foundation for Superior User Experiences

"Stable connectivity is one of the most critical factors in delivering a high-quality game player experience. B3 Spectrum service we adopted offers guaranteed bandwidth, enabling a consistent stable telecommunication infrastructure. Unlike traditional leased lines—which often rely on shared WDM wavelengths, BB Backbone installs a dedicated CPE (transponder) in our rack. This allows for end-to-end transmission over a dedicated optical wavelength without electrical conversion within the carrier network, delivering a more secure and reliable connection."

Supporting High-Resolution Content and Interactive Features

"In our flagship RPG series, high-definition graphics and cinematic visuals are key to shaping the overall player experience. This makes network stability and low latency essential requirements. B3 Spectrum maintains consistent communication speeds while leveraging cutting-edge *1 APN (All-Photonics Network) technology to deliver a low-latency environment. As a result, we have built an infrastructure that maximizes immersion without compromising visual quality or experiencing delays. This has significantly enhanced the player experience and made B3 Spectrum the optimal choice to meet our high-quality standards."

Between B3 Spectrum on-net data centers, fully redundant network design can be realized. Additionally, with the optional *2 Fiber Access option, connectivity can be extended to off-net data centers (i.e., data centers without B3 Spectrum nodes) and building using a variety of routing designs. The service is also backed by 24/7/365 maintenance service, ensuring service stability and quality at all times.

*1 All-photonics network
Technology that uses photonics (optics)-based technology between the required sites for high capacity, low latency, low power consumption network.

*2 Fiber Access option
An optional service that enables extended connectivity from existing service areas to data centers or office buildings outside the B3 Spectrum coverage area. This option is available across all service plans.
