\u25a0About communication services for foreign travelers offered by the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau
In January 2014, the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau began offering free public Wi-Fi (Osaka Free Wi-Fi, or OFW) for people visiting Osaka, especially tourists from overseas.
In addition, the Bureau worked with Wire and Wireless Co., Ltd. to offer \u201cOsaka Free Wi-Fi OpenRoaming\u201d from October 2024, which is compatible with \u201cOpenRoaming\u201d (note 3), an international standard of authentication which is being increasingly adopted in Europe, the United States, and Japan, with the goal of expanding OFW and making it more comfortable to use.
In addition to OFW, which can only be used in specific places, the Bureau also offers \u201cOsaka eSIM,\u201d which covers a wide area and can be used easily during transit. A large number of tourists are expected to visit Osaka for Expo 2025, and the Bureau is striving to provide a comfortable and seamless communications environment and increase the satisfaction of visitors.<\/p>\n
\u25a0About povo SDK
Povo SDK is an open communications service that allows companies to incorporate povo\u2019s communication service and offer their own plans. Music and video subscription services, e-tickets, and smart phone payments have become increasingly more widespread, amplifying the need for an internet connection in people\u2019s daily lives.
This allows companies to offer unlimited data for specific services or original toppings that other companies don\u2019t carry. The duration and data amount can also be customized, allowing the company to provide appropriate toppings to suit the customer\u2019s needs.
