We are pleased to announce the launch of our WiFiBOX service, a self-contained Wi-Fi rental service that allows customers to easily rent a mobile Wi-Fi router using a contactless connection, at three new locations of Smart Phone Repair Factory: Shinjuku PePe Store, Osaka Namba Walk Store, and Tenjin Underground Mall Store.
Of these, the Osaka Namba Walk store is the first in the Osaka area to install the service in the city.
With the installation of these three stores, the total number of WiFiBOXes installed at 29 facilities and 35 locations will increase. By continuing to install WiFi boxes throughout the city, we aim to increase customer convenience by meeting the needs of foreign visitors to Japan, domestic business and sightseeing travelers, and those in need of a gigabit of data.

Background
Smart Phone Repair Factory is a smartphone and tablet repair store with more than 150 stores nationwide. As smartphones have become a necessity in our daily lives, we decided to install WiFiBOXes because of their high affinity with WiFiBOXes in terms of providing support for smartphone use and pursuing customer convenience by opening a large number of stores. We will begin by installing WiFiBOX at three stores to meet the needs for citywide use in areas where WiFiBOX has already been installed.
Smart Phone Repair Factory Shinjuku PePe Store
In the Shinjuku area, WiFiBOXes are already installed at three locations: Shinjuku Tourist Information Center, Shinjuku Milod, and Keio Plaza Hotel. With the installation of "Smart Phone Repair Factory Shinjuku PePe Store", customers will be able to receive and return WiFiBOXes in the Shinjuku Station East Exit area.
Smart Phone Repair Factory Osaka Namba Walk Store
In the Osaka area, WiFi boxes have been installed at Kansai International Airport and Itami Airport, and the first WiFi box in Osaka City will be available at "Smart Phone Repair Studio Osaka Namba Walk". This service will meet the demand of overseas travelers who wish to pick up their WiFi before departure, as well as for temporary use for sightseeing or business, and will also be available for pickup and return when using the station as well as the airport.
Smart Phone Repair Factory Tenjin Underground Mall
In the Fukuoka area, WiFi boxes are available at Fukuoka Airport and CO-WORKING & CO-LEARNING SPACE "Q" on the first basement floor of JR Hakata City / Amu Plaza Hakata at Hakata Station. We have responded to the needs of users throughout Fukuoka City by installing a WiFi box at the "Smart Phone Repair Factory Tenjin Underground Mall Store" located in Tenjin, the largest downtown area in Kyushu.
