Wi2's wireless LAN internet service Wi2 300 is not only for Japanese, but is also useful for all residents of Japan, as well as foreigners visiting the country.

By implementing this joint promotion, Weekender and Wi2 are offering foreign tourists and business people the ability to access news and information in real time, and expansion of the service is planned in order to further increase convenience.

Wi2 understands wireless platforms and is expanding the contents it offers in order to increase the enjoyment of users. Wi2 is committed to increasing the reach of its wireless LAN and wireless broadband services to fit into various people's lifestyles.
