NTT docomo had launched a nation-wide and hyper-dense network for the measurement of both weather and environmental element since 2008 and provide them as new information contents to the markets. Its realtime data could be applied to various industrial issues, namely hazard prediction, agriculture, and medical&healthcare. docomo make the new network infrastructure more sophisticated and is planning to expand its sensor stations, which has been set only to its radio base stations up to now, to any customers who need to measure their own environment.
