Yozan, the Japanese telecoms company, is to expand its child protection
system through a partnership with the international network provider
Vodafone.
The system, which helps to allay increasing worries about child safety
in Japan, enables children to alert guardians, schools or local
councils in an emergency. The agreement with Vodafone extends the
system to corporations requiring security services as well as local
government and educational institutions.
The system will be offered nationwide from July 2006, and both
companies aim to enhance the child protection service further and to
promote a sense of security in society.
