To spread "5G" Tokyo Metropolitan Government Antenna base station development around Tokyo Metropolitan Government 4:31 on August 17

In order to popularize the communication standard "5G" that enables high-speed and large-capacity communication, antenna base stations are being developed around the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office in Shinjuku City.

"5G" is a new communication standard that enables high-speed, large-capacity communication, which started service in Japan this March, and Tokyo positions the area around the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Metropolitan University as important maintenance areas. ..

Among these, in the Nishi Shinjuku area where the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office is located, we have installed an antenna base station in cooperation with a private company and started operation from last month.

This base station is called "Smart Pole", and it can be used by people with smartphones that support 5G to use radio waves, and there is also a type that has a digital signage that displays images and characters.

It also has a charging outlet that can be used in an emergency and a camera that measures the flow of people passing by.

I would like to verify the effects of the metropolitan area in the Nishi-Shinjuku area and use it in the future to avoid congestion on sidewalks and to guide evacuation in the event of a disaster.

In addition, as a place where major mobile phone companies will install 5G antennas, we will support the spread by providing entrances and exits of Toei Subway stations and bus stops.
