Tokyo supports mobile phone companies to promote 5G Aug 29 20:29
To quickly spread the next-generation communication standard “5G” that enables high-speed and high-capacity communication, Tokyo has opened a metropolitan facility for the installation of base stations. It was decided to proceed with maintenance.
This was revealed at a press conference by Governor Koike in Tokyo and Manabu Miyasaka, former president of IT giant “Yahoo” and a member of the capital.
The next-generation communication standard “5G”, which enables high-speed and large-capacity communication, will be an important infrastructure that will lead to the spread of high-quality video distribution and automated driving.
In order to spread this 5G quickly, Tokyo decided to promote a project in cooperation with private companies such as mobile phone companies.
Specifically, in addition to opening facilities such as Tokyo Big Sight, metropolitan subway stations, and metropolitan areas for the installation of base stations, there will be areas where priority base stations will be installed in venues for the next year's Tokyo Games. If you want to.
To this end, we will establish a forum for exchanging opinions with mobile phone companies this fall.
Governor Koike said, “The 5G era is an important turning point in the strategy of infrastructure development. We will build a network for further growth and maturity in Tokyo to overcome intercity competition.”
