Installation background
In Oita Prefecture, we have been installing WiFi BOX at Oita Airport since September last year. It is widely used when there is a shortage of gigabytes. Now, in order to meet the needs of even more people, they can be picked up and returned in Oita city and Beppu city before and after arriving at the airport, or for temporary use in daily life such as when there is a shortage of gigabytes at the end of the month. We have decided to expand the installation location.
By installing it at bus centers and bus stops that serve as a route for pick-up after arriving at Oita Station, daily use in downtown areas, and before and after arriving at Beppu, a popular tourist destination in Oita Prefecture, domestic travelers This will make it more convenient for more people, including inbound tourists.
