Takenaka Adopts DoCoMo's FOMA 3G Service in Field Trial of New Business Solution

date: September 27, 2001

NTT DoCoMo announced that the company's "FOMA"*-brand third-generation mobile communications service has been adopted by Takenaka Corporation (TAKENAKA), Japan's leading construction company, as the mobile network in a business solution field trial.

TAKENAKA will begin the trial on October 1, 2001, the same day that DoCoMo will launch its fully commercialized FOMA service. The trial is planned to finish around the end of March 2002.

DoCoMo has been supporting TAKENAKA's development of a system using the FOMA network since last November. Also, TAKENAKA has been a corporate monitor of introductory phase of FOMA service since end of May.

TAKENAKA selected FOMA as the core tool of its mobile work, using its many advanced features and technical superiority to develop useful applications for the company's new business solution. During the trial, TAKENAKA employees, mainly from Tokyo Headquarters, will use FOMA handsets for video streaming, taking and transmitting still pictures, and real-time video monitoring.

- Video streaming
FOMA handsets (model P2101V) equipped with video screens will be used to access a server and view streamed content, such as product promotions and instructions on operating equipment.

- Taking and sending still pictures
FOMA P2101V handsets equipped with built-in cameras will be used to take still pictures and also transmit them to a server. The pictures will be stored in a database and viewed with FOMA handsets (models N2001 and P2101V) equipped with video screens. Content will include reports from manufacturing sites, daily updates of work in progress, etc.

- Real-time video monitoring
FOMA handsets (models N2001 and P2101V) equipped with built-in cameras and video screens will be used for real-time video monitoring. Applications will include monitoring facilities (security), work processes, weather conditions, etc.
