Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is a dream of 'Fibergate Inc.'
Our new slogan is 'Lead The ‘Telecomenergy’ ~Creating Future Value with Communication and Energy~'. What we aim for is to integrate 'communication' and 'energy' as a single social infrastructure, evolving apartments nationwide into 'small power plants.' We strive to realize a future that is environmentally friendly, resilient to disasters, sustainable, and delivers certain peace of mind to people's lives.
Our company has previously championed 'Wi-Fi, Anywhere ~Wi-Fi for all facilities~' and has worked to spread communication infrastructure. As a result, Wi-Fi has become an indispensable social infrastructure in daily life.
What we are looking at 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 electricity in real-time via a communication network, we will update it into a next-generation urban infrastructure that uses energy smartly and without waste.
## Transforming Apartments Nationwide into 'Small Power Plants'
Japan currently faces the challenge of 'not having enough space to build large power plants.' Therefore, we focused on the approximately 50,000 apartment buildings nationwide that are already using our Wi-Fi.
We will install solar panels and storage batteries on the rooftops of each apartment building and connect them with our unique communication network. Instead of simply waiting for electricity to arrive from distant large power plants, we will transform them into 'Virtual Power Plants (VPP)' that generate, store, and smartly use electricity on a building-by-building basis. We will promote an exciting concept where each apartment building becomes a 'small power plant' supporting the city.
## Peace of Mind with 'Internet Connectivity and Electricity' Even During Disasters
The 'Telecomenergy' concept will demonstrate its greatest value during emergencies such as disasters. In the unlikely event of a city-wide power outage, apartments equipped with this system will still have Wi-Fi connectivity and electricity. They can continue to function as if they were an 'independent island.' Going beyond mere free internet facilities, we will provide an overwhelming sense of security that protects the lives and livelihoods of residents.
We hereby pledge to lead a sustainable society that is environmentally friendly and resilient to disasters, powered by 'communication x renewable energy.'
