Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of Fibergate Inc.
Our new slogan is "Lead The ‘Telecomenergy’ ~Creating future value through communication and energy~". What we aim for is to integrate "communication" and "energy" as a single social infrastructure, evolving apartment buildings nationwide into "small power plants". We aim to realize a future that is kind to the earth, resilient to disasters, sustainable, and delivers a true sense of security to people's lives.
Until now, we have strived to spread communication infrastructure under the banner of "Wi-Fi, Anywhere ~Wi-Fi for all facilities~". As a result, Wi-Fi has become established as an indispensable social infrastructure for daily life.
What we are looking ahead to next is the creation of value beyond that.
If energy is the "blood" that moves a city, then communication is like the "nerves and brain" that determine "where and how much energy is needed" and send commands. By integrating these two and controlling power in real-time via the communication network, we will update to next-generation urban infrastructure that uses energy efficiently and intelligently.
■ Turning apartment buildings nationwide into "small power plants"
Japan is currently facing the challenge of "not having enough space to build large power plants." This is why we have focused our attention on the approximately 50,000 apartment buildings nationwide that are already using our Wi-Fi.
We will install solar panels and batteries to store electricity on the rooftops of each apartment building and connect them via our proprietary communication network. Instead of just waiting for electricity to arrive from distant large power plants, we will convert them into "Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)" that generate, store, and intelligently use electricity on a building-by-building basis. Each apartment building will become a "small power plant" supporting the city. We are promoting this exciting concept.
■ Security of "connected internet and usable electricity" even during disasters
The "Telecomenergy" concept will demonstrate its greatest value in "what-if" scenarios such as disasters. In the unlikely event that the entire town loses power, apartments equipped with this system will remain connected to Wi-Fi and have electricity. They can continue to function like an "independent island." Going beyond mere free internet facilities, it provides an overwhelming sense of security that protects residents' lives and livelihoods.
We promise to lead a sustainable society that is kind to the earth and resilient to disasters through the power of "communication x renewable energy."
