Bemap, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Fuminori Sugino) has successfully completed the contract for the 'FY2025 OpenRoaming-compatible Public Wi-Fi Environment Construction and Operation' (covering five facilities including Gojindaira Campground) commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and has commenced service operations.
■ Overview of the Project
This project involves building TOKYO FREE Wi-Fi (OpenRoaming) connectivity and management systems at campgrounds and other locations in Tokyo to provide internet access for facility users.
Depending on the location, the company has constructed internet environments using satellite communication lines or fiber-optic lines, and in some facilities, wireless configurations have been adopted based on terrain and environmental conditions.
Some of these facilities are located in areas where mobile phone signals are weak, such as high-altitude mountainous regions or coastal areas on remote islands. The implementation of satellite communication now allows users in these areas to access the internet.
■ Comment from President Fuminori Sugino
'I am very pleased that we have successfully launched the Wi-Fi environment at all target facilities for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government project. Our company is currently focusing on providing wireless LAN services to areas where mobile phone signals are difficult to reach. It is said that 30% to 40% of Japan's land area lacks mobile coverage, and we believe that enabling internet access in these areas will open up various possibilities.
While this project utilized satellite communication, we are also advancing initiatives using long-range Wi-Fi HaLow and high-output 6GHz Wi-Fi combined with AFC (*1). We have long intended to expand the scope of use to applications previously unthinkable with conventional wireless LAN. In that sense, I am very happy that we were able to contribute to the expansion of internet connectivity through this project.'
(*1) AFC: Automated Frequency Coordination. A system used in 6GHz band wireless LAN (Wi-Fi 6E/7) that automatically assigns available frequencies and power levels based on location to avoid interference with existing services like broadcast relays or public fixed wireless communications.
