1. Purpose of the Agreement

In recent years, with the advancement of digitalization, the importance of securing power supply in disaster-affected areas has been increasing. Mobile battery manufacturers have been providing support to disaster-affected areas by offering power supply equipment such as mobile batteries, but it can be difficult to provide support solely on their own. On the other hand, telecommunications carriers are actively involved in disaster-affected areas by supporting the establishment of communication environments in evacuation centers. Therefore, based on this Agreement, they will cooperate in delivering support equipment provided by mobile battery manufacturers, thereby contributing to strengthening power supply in disaster-affected areas.

This will make it easier for disaster victims evacuating to shelters to secure charging methods for smartphones and other devices, allowing them to contact family and friends and obtain necessary information with greater peace of mind, thus enhancing support for their lives during disasters.
