Broadcasting and Communications
Bay Communications (Baycom), Himeji Cable Television (WINK), BAN-BAN Networks
We broadcast on cable TV, a community-based information medium, and also provide wired and wireless internet services. Our lineup of services includes high-spec optical fiber internet services and high-speed wireless internet connections, as well as the creation of original programs for community channels, which we now focus on.
Safety
Mimamorume
In the Mimamorume system, children carry wireless IC tags. When a child passes through the school gates, their guardian is notified by email. Using this system in combination with monitoring cameras installed by local governing bodies, the Machinaka Mimamorume service provides notifications of the locations of people who require monitoring, such as children or senior citizens. In this way, we are helping to create towns where people can live with safety and confidence.
Education
ProgLab
ProgLab offers robot programming classes aimed at developing the ability of children as future leaders to realize their ambitions by cultivating their reasoning, problem-solving, and creative skills based on the methodology of STEAM education.* Approximately 8,000 children currently attend ProgLab classes. We also offer extension and extracurricular classes at schools.
* Educational methodology that enables the integrated learning of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics
