◆ Gigamon
The amount of traffic of mobile data has reached 2300 times in 10 years, and due to the arrival of the large traffic age, the phenomenon "It is not enough for 5 GB" is starting to occur even with data plans provided by smartphone companies.


So Softbank said that "new standards for data plan" ...


A new data plan "Giga Monster" that can be used up to 20 GB at 6000 yen per month was announced. By adding 1000 yen to the existing 5 GB data plan, it becomes possible to obtain large capacity data communication of as much as 20 GB.


If you signed a 20 GB data plan with SoftBank · docomo · au, every carrier took over 16,000 yen. This will be available for only 6000 yen.


"Giga monster" will be accepted from September 13 (Tue) 2016 sequentially.


The fee structure of Giga monster is as follows, not only 20 GB plan of 6000 yen per month, 30 GB plan of 8000 yen per month is also prepared.


◆ "Massive MIMO" that enables comfortable mobile communication in a congested area from "5G Project" project launched◆
Softbank has announced the "5G Project" which will be released earlier by strengthening the 5th generation mobile communication system (5G) by 2020.


As network usage continues to rise sharply, the base station is already in an extremely overcrowded state


In the urban area, it is difficult to expand the base station any longer.


What is needed is an idea "Increase the capacity per base station".


That is why the world first introduced 5G technology "Massive MIMO" was announced. "MIMO(Mimo) "refers to one of smart antenna technologies that uses multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver to improve communication quality.


If Massive MIMO is introduced, the capacity per base station will be multiplied by 10.


As a feature, it is possible to transmit communication electric waves with the overwhelming number of antennas ......


The beamforming and spatial multiplexing technology can provide a dedicated communication path for each person.


Massive MIMO can realize high-speed communication even in congested areas and crowded areas.


Actually, we compared on and off of Massive MIMO communication at 4 locations in metropolitan area, and as a result it seems that it averaged 6.7 times speed.


The 5 G large capacity technology "Massive MIMO" will be launched from 43 cities and 100 stations nationwide from September 16 (Friday). There is no need for a special contract etc, Massive MIMO target terminal is SoftBank 4G and Y! Mobile 4G compatible terminal.
