In December 2024, the new commercial facility GRANDIR ICHII opened its doors in Hakodate City, operated by Ichii Bussan Co., Ltd. The facility, designed around the themes of inclusivity and creativity, features a variety of tenant shops, supermarkets, cafes, and learning spaces, along with a weather-independent indoor plaza and event areas. In a significant enhancement for its guests, GRANDIR ICHII has adopted Buffalo Inc.'s advanced FREESPOT solutions, which include the FS-M1266 kit and various other products, to establish a public Wi-Fi environment that caters to the diverse needs of its community.
The FREESPOT FS-M1266, a corporate network device equipped with management features, has been instrumental in ensuring secure access throughout the facility. Priced at 43,780 yen (excluding tax), this kit allows for effective control and monitoring of the Wi-Fi network, ensuring users enjoy a seamless experience.
