ORIX Rentec and ARTERIA Networks Launch “Secure Telework Package” a Rental Service for Laptop Computers with Teleworking Functions

TOKYO, Japan - August 27, 2020 - ORIX Rentec Corporation (“ORIX Rentec”) and ARTERIA Networks Corporation (“ARTERIA Networks”) announced they have today launched “Secure Telework Package” computer rental service, which provides laptop computers pre-equipped with secure network environments, communication tools, and human resources management functions.

The Secure Telework Package provides companies with laptop computers pre-equipped with various tools and functions required for teleworking. Featuring highly secure communications networks from ARTERIA Networks, a company that deals in closed company networks^*, the Package combines five services tailored to teleworking, including telephone and chat functions, personnel management systems, and access to dedicated helpdesks. ORIX Rentec provides a one-stop rental service for these computers, with rental periods starting from 24 months. Customers are not required to sign separate contracts for separate services—instead, the laptop computers are available for rent as complete packages with fees starting from 18,000 yen per month, excluding consumption tax.

As teleworking at home and other locations grows in popularity, companies are being forced to confront several issues; these range from implementing security measures to combat information leaks stemming from breached networks or lost computers, establishing communication environments, to building personnel management systems.

Through the Secure Telework Package, ORIX Rentec offers computers that come pre-equipped with various functions and services aimed at resolving such issues and, since the package is rental based, it enables companies to limit their initial investments. For users, the package promises comfortable teleworking environments; for managers, it contributes to lighter workloads related to the installation, operation, and management of teleworking functions and services.

Based on a philosophy of “the necessary equipment for the necessary period of time,” ORIX Rentec provides ICT equipment, various types of software, and communication lines that cater to individual customer needs. ARTERIA Networks makes use of its high-quality optical fiber networks to provide a variety of pioneering and cutting-edge high-capacity services.

Going forward, ORIX Rentec and ARTERIA Networks will provide support for the establishment and use of customer ICT environments and will propose solutions that enable companies to respond to changing business environments.

* Closed networks are not directly connected to the internet; instead, these wide-area intra-organizational networks connect limited users or locations.
