NTT DoCoMo to Expand FOMA 3G Service Area
December 3, 2003
NTT DoCoMo announced that beginning December 6, 2003, the service area
for DoCoMo's FOMA 3G mobile phones will cover 99.4% of the population
in the Kanto-Koshinetsu* region. Its eight regional subsidiaries will
also expand FOMA service to an area encompassing approximately 98% of
the nationwide population by the end of December.
In addition, DoCoMo will increase the number of FOMA base stations in
existing service areas to upgrade service quality. Base stations will
be expanded to 3,200 locations in the Kanto-Koshinetsu region and 10,700
nationwide by the end of December. This includes expanding In-building
Mobile Communication Systems to 358 locations in the Kanto-Koshinetsu
region and about 800 nationwide, which will enable wider use of FOMA service
in high-rise buildings, underground shopping areas and train stations.
The number of subway stations with FOMA access will increase from seven
to 52 as a result.
DoCoMo will continue to enlarge its FOMA service area, targeting 99%
coverage of Japan's population by the end of March 2004.
*Note: Kanto-Koshinetsu includes greater Metropolitan Tokyo and the prefectures
of Kanagawa, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Saitama, Gunma, Niigata, Yamanashi,
and Nagano.
