700Mhz Band to be Used for Inter-Vehicle Communications System in Japan

The wireless spectrum we have been talking about recently hasn’t yet been auctioned, but Japan already has plans for it. Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has stated they are going to use the 715-725Mhz for an inter-vehicle communications system, as Tech-On published. The new technology is designed to reduce accidents, by allowing vehicles to communicate with each other and help the driver.They were planning to use the technology with the 5.8Ghz band, but it’s too easily blockable by obstables, so they decided to better use the 700Mhz band.
