Yamaha held the No.1 share in Japan's domestic SOHO router market for the 22nd consecutive year, per IDC Japan's 2025 market data announced in July 2026. The company credits its network strategy spanning routers, wireless LAN, cloud management, and support. New 2025 models include the RTX840 and NWR100, and Yamaha is expanding into Media over IP.
IDC Japan's 2025 market data, announced in July 2026, placed Yamaha at the top of the domestic SOHO router market for the 22nd year in a row. SOHO routers serve small offices, remote sites, and stores. Yamaha entered network equipment in 1995 and has since added switches, wireless LAN access points, and UTM appliances to its lineup.
The company points to its cloud service Yamaha Network Organizer for remote device management, adopted in offices, schools, medical facilities, retail, and factories. In 2025 it released the RTX840 site router and the NWR100 wireless LAN router. It also took part in an Interop Tokyo 2026 demonstration of a fully remote virtual character music live show, testing low-latency video and audio transmission.
