Hokkaido Information and Communication Infrastructure Utilisation Promotion Council is responsible for communications with residents in eleven towns and villages.

We had three key critical factors for the new communication solution: We wanted a cloud-based platform, IP phones with customised dial pads for the convenience of senior residents and reduced operational costs. The proposal from KCME based on the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise solutions, offered those advantages and the additional feature of app integration with smart phones.

Le Sfide

Japan faces challenges including a declining birth rate and an aging population. Additionally, it is the most quake-prone country in the world. The existing communications network was reaching its end-of-support. An adaptable communication, alert and notification system was needed to connect and provide administrative services to elderly and rural residents.

Azione

The ICT Council leveraged existing internet connectivity and installed new video-based smart terminals for residents. Priorities for the solution included: Resiliency, security, rapid deployment delivered by cloud technology; high-quality, easy-to-use multimedia end-user devices with familiar phone-centric design and capabilities for new applications; and remote management, monitoring and maintenance to reduce operational costs.
