Regarding the bandwidth limitations introduced by each company, I asked Mr. Atsuo Nosaka, President and Representative Director of UQ Communications, what kind of stance the "UQ WiMAX" will take place.Since our company sells large capacity and high speed, first of all I would like to do my best without such restrictions"It was a reply saying.

According to the staff of UQ Communications, it seems that the company originally built a network infrastructure on the premise of providing high-speed communication services, why not limit the introduction of bandwidth limitation.

Also, unlike other companies, it does not provide voice service, so the amount of flowing data itself is small, but there is no need to constantly allocate bandwidth more than a certain amount exclusively for voice service so as not to interrupt the call, which is a big advantage It is said that it is becoming.

This holds the network infrastructure that can hold subscribers as close as 20 to 30 times so far, so it seems that there is no need to be severe about the band for now.
