(2) Expanded use of 5GHz-band wireless access system
Mobile base stations and mobile stations will be introduced in addition to station types such as base stations and land-based mobile stations, etc., which are provided for in Radio Equipment Regulations, etc., from the perspective of using a "5GHz-band wireless access system" (for which land use is a prerequisite) on ships, etc. and in other locations away from land.
