If you have a pioneer in-vehicle Wi-Fi router "DCT-WR100D", the inside of the car will be an entertainment space instantly!Connect all together with smartphones, tablets, online games, YouTube, music distribution, etc.
【前回のあらすじ】
In front of the writer who finished interviewing in Nagano, a black -painted car operated by the CAR WATCH editorial department staff.When I got on a sweet invitation to send it to Tokyo, I decided to work on the new pioneer "Avic-CQ911-DC" with an unlimited online function of the Internet.While working while traveling by car while using a comfortable online line, I noticed that Cyber Navi has an unlimited entertainment function for YouTube and recorded programs, so I forgot about the deadline and enjoyed the video.I did.
I received a phone call to the author who finished interviewing in Tokyo.It is a telephone of the CAR WATCH editorial department staff saying, "I will pick you up."It may be a mild atmosphere like a movie title, but there is one case in Nagano, and the author who had only a bad feeling was to refuse.In any case, it must be trapped in a car again, and the deadline for new work and manuscript must be imposed.
Just in case, when you ask who is there, he says, "There are pioneers."Same as Nagano.
If so, there must be a photographer."There are also photographers."no doubt.She is trapped.However, the content is unusual, saying, "Let's have a game with the young female staff in charge of Game Watch this time."It's very grateful for freelancers like me to get a job.I guess I'm going to be trapped in a car and do my job!
12,000 yen per year without the upper limit of high -speed data communication volume
What appeared at the pick-up Honda "N-BOX".What was prepared inside the car is the Pioneer's carrozzeria's Wi-Fi router "DCT-WR100D", which has become a big topic for "unlimited use in the car".
To put it simply, the Wi-Fi router for the in-vehicle is "try how much it can actually be used."To be honest, if it's a low -quality line that is cheap, no matter how much you use it, the charm will be weakened.Not only the price but also the "practical quality" is very important.
So, if you introduce the "DCT-WR100D" again, this is a Wi-Fi access point that allows you to use the Internet in the car.By simply connecting Wi-Fi compatible devices, such as PCs, smartphones, and game consoles, to the "DCT-WR100D", the content on the Internet can be used.You can email, watch videos, exchange messages on LINE, play online games.
The "DCT-WR100D" supports the Internet connection service "docomo in Car Connect" optimized for the inside of the car, and communicates using NTT DOCOMO's high-speed LTE line.The maximum usage limit for high -speed data communication is not set, and there is no communication speed limit due to a fixed -rate unlimited use.
The method of contract is to purchase the "DCT-WR100D" body, then read the 2D barcode on the back of the main unit with a smartphone, connect it to the application-only site, select the use plan there, and start using it.。Since all the procedures are completed online, there is no need to go to the store for a line contract, and I am grateful that you can start using it immediately.
There are three types of plans as follows.All -you -can -use "365 -day plan" for 12,000 yen (excluding tax) per year, "30 -day plan", which is all -you -can -use for 1500 yen per month (excluding tax), and 500 yen (excluding tax) for 24 hours (excluding tax).One day plan.Of these, if you apply for the "365 -day plan" by January 31, 2021, a campaign will be held to get 2000 points for D Points, so you can use it for 10,000 yen per year.Even if you include tax, it is cheap less than 1000 yen per month.
It should be noted, however, that the price of the "DCT-WR100D" body is 25,000 yen (excluding tax).Including this, if you sign up for a 365 -day plan, it costs about 4000 yen for a month, and 2,000 yen a month for two years.Nevertheless, it can be said that it is cheap, considering that it is "unlimited use" with no restrictions on data traffic.After that, how much "practical" is likely to be the key.
Are video playback and online battle games comfortable?
Immediately get on the car with the young female staff K.We will play with a portable game machine!And suppress the feeling of doing it, first from the setting of the main unit and Wi-Fi setting.Connect the "DCT-WR100D" to the car cigar socket with a dedicated power cable, turn on the engine and turn on the power.After that, as when connecting to a network at home, I selected the access point name for the "DCT-WR100D" and entered the password immediately.
If you try to access the website or YouTube on your smartphone for a trial, the pages and images are read quickly, and the video playback is also stable with the high quality of the full HD.Whether you stop or run, the smoothness does not change.I played the video at the same time with two smartphones, but all of them had smooth images without image quality deterioration.
In this state, if you browse the web using another device, you can enjoy the Internet as usual, almost without any problems with the image loading.
So what about the game online play?Using K's game console and my game console, I tried both online matches that do not require much real -time, and online play, which requires real -timeability.
As a result, there is no problem at all.There was no difference between playing each other's monsters and fighting, and the action games where 35 online played at the same time via the optical line at home.fun.very fun.
However, the car entered a long tunnel that could not reach radio waves.In this state, the nasty writer continued playing with K while playing the video with two smartphones and tablets at the same time.A huge monster will take out a special move and exert an outstanding effect!
Meanwhile, "DCT-WR100D" also maintain an outstanding communication environment.Some terminals took a little time to read the data, but once the video playback began, it would not be interrupted and the match play was not interrupted.
Of course, that doesn't mean that any tunnel can communicate without any problems.Although it may not be possible to communicate in a mountainous tunnel where people do not live, I felt again that NTT DOCOMO's LTE line, which boasts a population coverage of about 100 %, can be used.
How is the large -capacity file sharing of the business scene?
I want to enjoy games and videos all the time in the car, but the "DCT-WR100D" is an item that is anxious for those who want to work a lot in the car.When you want to collect information while you are on a move, or when you want to exchange large-capacity data with others, how much is the DCT-WR100D?
When I tried it, it was of course no problem to browse on a personal computer.In addition, I uploaded more than 500MB of photo data to cloud storage, assuming that the data was delivered, and it was completed in about 5 minutes.It is quite fast because it was possible to send at a pace of 100MB per minute per minute.The practicality is high enough, or this seems to be a fake work.
By the way, up to 5 units can be accessed to the Internet at the same time using the "DCT-WR100D".If you are a car like an N-BOX with a capacity of 4 people, you can afford to communicate with all the people (3 people) who are riding other than the driver on their own smartphone.Even if you decide to connect to a car navigation system, four cars will be taken out and one will be in time for 5 units.
Since the band is simply shared, the higher the number of communications at the same time, the lower the speed.However, as I tried this time, even if I played the video with three units at the same time, there was no problem even if I played online with game consoles.In the first place, it is rare for everyone to keep communicating with a high load like that, and it seems unlikely that the actual use scene will be stressed in low -speed communication.
No problem use while driving.Pay attention to some restriction conditions when stopping
I forgot that it was a job, and I was enthusiastic about the game against Mr. K in the car in the parking lot.However, after a certain amount of time passed, that ... the net was no longer connected ...?What happened?It is a misunderstanding that I was impatient, and this is the specification of "DCT-WR100D".You can connect to the Internet with the "DCT-WR100D" basically only during running and some stops.
To be more detailed, it is not completely "running only" that can be communicated.It can be used for 30 minutes after turning on the car engine and applying power to the "DCT-WR100D".
Even if it is no longer possible to communicate after 30 minutes, if you start running again, the lamp in the main unit will be turned into a blue color that indicates that you can communicate, and you will be able to communicate for 60 minutes after stopping.By the way, when I tried it several times on the day of the interview, when I started running, the blue lamp turned on immediately and I was able to connect to the Wi-Fi again.
In other words, it is possible to communicate for a total of 90 minutes while running and before and after, so it seems that it can be used without any problems when actually using it.The "DCT-WR100D" has a built-in sensor that detects the fact that the car is actually running, and this product is an item that provides a Wi-Fi communication service optimized for cars.The biggest sales point.
It means that communication is possible when the blue lamp of the main unit lights up.In order to recognize the driving state, the body is installed as horizontally or vertically (an angle within 20 °) in the direction of travel.All you have to do is insert the power in the cigar socket
Even so, even if you consider the price of 25,000 yen for the "DCT-WR100D", the cost of about 1,000 yen per month is still cheap.I'm sorry for the manufacturers, but I would like to use it for entertainment in the car, work, and work.
