Positioning of this delivery experiment

NEXCO EAST announced in 2011 that the White Space Special Zone, which was proposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications White Space Promotion Council, called “information on Expressway related information/regional information, etc. using area 1seg in Expressway service areas/parking areas (SA/PA)”. We applied for "delivery" and were certified as a special zone.

White space is a frequency band that is allocated for a certain purpose such as broadcasting, but can be used for other purposes depending on geographical conditions and temporal conditions. From the perspective of using it and improving the convenience of the public, we are considering using it not only for area broadcasting type systems such as "DraPla Seg TV" but also for communication type systems such as specific radio microphones, sensor networks, communication systems for disasters. It is being advanced.

Through this delivery experiment, NEXCO EAST will seek to develop new services that utilize Area One Seg in SA and PA.
