Mobile Computing Promotion Consortium (MCPC) Activities (for Participants)
<Abstract>
【About MCPC】
MCPC's three practical activities (technical activities, dissemination and awareness-raising, and human resource development) are accelerating and expanding the DX promotion business through the mobile utilization of member companies.
(1) Technical activities: We are working on standardization and connection verification of interfaces between WAN/LAN/NFC and a wide range of wireless networks, and have formulated specifications and guidelines. We also perform Bluetooth connection verification, charging safety certification of smartphones etc.
(2) Dissemination and awareness-raising: Through various dissemination and enlightenment activities such as the MCPC Awards (publication of case studies, etc.), we are striving to form and expand the DX market.
(3) Human resource development: We are working on certification tests and human resource development workshops for ""mobile system technology"", ""wireless IoT planner"", and ""IoT system technology"", which are indispensable for DX promotion.
