Features

Top-Level Security via a Dedicated LGWAN Platform

We manage data on a dedicated platform that is completely separate from services for general corporations, ensuring the security of municipal information is our top priority. SMS messages sent by each municipality via the LGWAN are delivered through a more secure, dedicated network, allowing for the safe handling of residents’ personal information and important notifications. With state-of-the-art facilities and a 24/7, 365-day operational monitoring system, we meet the high reliability standards required for municipal operations.

High delivery rates and stable delivery through direct connections with all carriers

We have direct connections with the four major carriers—NTT Docomo, KDDI (au), SoftBank, and Rakuten Mobile—to ensure reliable delivery of messages to residents’ mobile devices. Compared to email or regular mail, we achieve a higher delivery rate, enabling us to quickly and reliably deliver important communications from local governments to residents, such as emergency disaster prevention information, guidance on various administrative procedures, and event notifications. Since we can reliably deliver large volumes of SMS messages, you can use our service with confidence even in situations requiring mass messaging.

Flexible Delivery Methods for API Connections and the Admin Panel

We offer two delivery methods: an API connection that integrates with existing municipal systems and an intuitive management interface. The API connection enables automatic integration with resident information systems and disaster prevention systems, significantly improving operational efficiency. The management interface allows users to send SMS messages and check delivery results with just a few simple steps, ensuring that even staff with limited IT knowledge can operate the system with confidence. While prior application to J-LIS is required to use the API, we provide thorough support from implementation through operation.

Ensuring Reliability Through Flexible Caller ID Settings

Supports a wide variety of sender numbers, including landline numbers owned by local governments, toll-free numbers (0120/0800), unified numbers (0570), and IP phone numbers (050). By displaying familiar local government main numbers as the sender, the service enhances recipients’ sense of security and trust. You can choose between the Standard Plan and the 4-Carrier Common Sender Number Plan, and we also offer the option to rent phone numbers from us.This enables flexible operation tailored to the needs of local governments.

Guaranteed delivery quality with detailed delivery results and a retry feature

We provide delivery results that clearly indicate whether each delivery request was successful or failed, allowing you to accurately track the status of your messages. SMS messages that fail to reach mobile devices are automatically resent (retried), minimizing delivery failures caused by temporary issues such as the device being turned off or out of service range. Our pricing structure is transparent and based on character count, and we support the delivery of long messages of up to 660 characters (equivalent to 10 messages). We maintain a high standard of delivery quality for local government operations, where reliable information transmission is essential.
