WiMAX Forum® Member Aims to be the #1 Mobile Internet Service Provider in Customer Satisfaction
TOKYO – June 5, 2015 – In May, UQ Communications Inc. (hereafter “UQ”) exceeded 10 million contracts for UQ WiMAX™ mobile internet service. Since its founding in 2009, UQ has strived to make customer satisfaction a top priority. Responding to customer feedback, UQ has enlarged the area of mobile internet coverage in Japan, boosted the download bandwidth speed of the WiMAX 2+ service to 220 Mbps with the “Ya-Baisoku” (double speed) service, introduced flat rates with the “Giga-Hodai” (unlimited data) wireless plan, and began selling slim, lightweight high-speed Wi-Fi routers.
Because of its focus on customers, UQ has been rated number one in customer satisfaction for two consecutive years, and the number of WiMAX contracts has accelerated at a rapid pace since WiMAX 2+ support was introduced for smartphones in May 2014. UQ continues its “Giga-Yaba Revolution,” guaranteeing fast and unlimited data to increase its value to customers and enrich the world through mobile internet service.
Said WiMAX Forum President, Declan Byrne, “We are proud of this Forum member’s stellar achievements. UQ gained a large number of contracts due to its dedication to customer satisfaction and tenacity in responding to customers’ needs. Last year, we named UQ WiMAX Advanced Champion of the year and are ecstatic that it is continuing its excellence.”
