     We believe that the product essential for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a special Wi-Fi that can only be used in the Olympic application that we have created. When there are lots of people congested in a small area, the Wi-Fi tends to slows down, increasing the loading time for internet usage. However, this will not be the case, as the Wi-Fi is designed to work only on our application. Hence, the loading time will be fast enough for the people to retrieve any information without having to test their patience.

     The main purpose of the application is to help the tourists. In 2020, many tourists will visit Japan to watch the Tokyo Olympics. However, since not many Japanese can speak English and as there are only few English guidance around the street of Tokyo, foreigners, like myself, find it very difficult to find a destination or even buy a train ticket. Thereby, the application will provide vital information that the tourists will need to know for their trip in Japan.

     The Wi-Fi service will be available in majority of the convenient stores, public buildings, many restaurants, and more places. Moreover, the application will be completed before the Olympic season starts. Also, it will be constantly updated in order to include any new information such as change in stadium or time of a game or a train delay information.

      As the majority of the tourists will be coming to watch the Tokyo Olympics, the application will provide information related to the time and location of a game. Also, it will include other information such as the transportation information to the Olympics stadium. Moreover, the tourists will be able to watch the game on live using the application and the results will be updated regularly. Nevertheless, as the tourists will also want to look around the city, the application will not only focus on the Olympic information, but also provide traveling information around Tokyo as well. The information may include the nearest toilet location, bus stops and train stations. Also, translating function will be included as well as simple and practical dialogues such as “Where is the nearest convenient store?”or ”Where is the toilet?” will be included in the service. 

The Olympic app can help travelers a lot

     The way in which a person can have access to this system is by registering before they visit Japan. This service is only available to the foreigners and the users must have their user ID and password in order to have access to the Wi-Fi and the application. The tourists can simply register for free at their local travel agencies and a week before their visit to Japan, they will receive an email with all the details of how to download and use the system. The reason for the pre-registration is to make sure that the server does not shut down due to over accessing the application. By mandating registration, the administrator can approximate the suitable size of their data base, which can help the system to run more smoothly.
