I asked WILLCOM whether the comfortable communication day on the Shinkansen tunnel will come



Previously at GIGAZINEI asked the telecom companies to see if the day when mobile phones and PHS can be used in the tunnel of the subway will comeHowever, the result was a ridiculous content that we are not considering prospects other than WILLCOM.

So I asked WILLCOM, who answered "I am thinking positively" this time, asking if I am planning to make comfortable communication within the tunnel of the Shinkansen.

Often the structure of the bullet train passes through the tunnel, and it seems that there are many users who are irritated because communication ceases every time they enter the tunnel, but what about it?

Details are as below.
The questions I have made to WILLCOM this time are as follows.

1. I answered "I am considering" about the question "Will you be able to communicate within the tunnel of the subway" last time, but even in the tunnel of the Shinkansen which can not communicate now Do you plan to make it available?

2. Is there a request from the user that "I want you to make it available for Shinkansen?"
Also, if such requests come out, are they still from business users?


3. It is also possible to say about the tunnel of the subway, if there is reason to take time to improve the tunnel and the underground area, please.

The answer from WILLCOM became as follows.

1. Currently, it is difficult situation to deal with technical aspects, there are no plans, but like the tunnel of the subway, we are considering it positively.

2. Regardless of the individual corporation, we are requesting the use of data communication.

3. (In general terms) tunnels and subways have limited space and because we need to secure safety strictly (when installing base stations).

Certainly, considering the Shinkansen passing through the tunnel at the explosive speed, it seems difficult to set up a base station to withstand the shock caused by passing through .... Apparently, it will take time to be able to communicate comfortably in the tunnel of the Shinkansen, but I would like to have a positive prospect.
