VitaNet was originally founded in Japan as VitaNet KK in 2013. In April 2016, the company became a US corporation under the name VitaNet, Inc., headquartered in the Silicon Valley. The Japan-based operation is now known as VitaNet Japan KK, a subsidiary to VitaNet, Inc.
The name VitaNet comes from the Latin word “vita” which means “life.” This reflects VitaNet’s mission to focus first-and-foremost on users. “Net” represents all the devices that make up today’s hyper-connected world. Our goal is to improve access to the “Net” so people can focus more on how they live. VitaNet’s complete IoT service platform solution makes this possible.
Vita + Net = Better quality of life!
