AIR-EDGE (pronounced "air edge") is a proprietary wireless connection service that allows for convenient mobile Internet usage on your notebook, or PDA (standard desktop machines can also be used). A variety of AIR-EDGE plans, including unlimited usage plans, are available to meet your needs. AIR-EDGE connection devices will usually support both 128Kbps and 32Kbps packet communication. Some devices also support a "Flexchange" communication system enables automatic switching between 32Kbps (when data transmission is low or idle) and 64Kbps (when data transmission is more intense). The service area covers most of Japan so that you can benefit from wireless Internet access on the go. Please refer to the WILLCOM homepage for more details. (Japanese only)

The two different communication systems have the following characteristics.
・Packet Switching System
With the Packet Switching System (32K / 128K,) data is transmitted in divided packets allowing efficient delivery of multiple data transfers over a single line.
・Flexchange System
The Flexchange System automatically switches between 64K PIAFS (optimal conditions) and the 32K Packet Switching System according to the size and intensity of the data being transmitted.
Yes, you will be able to connect if your device is PIAFS compatible, but you will be charged the standard connection fee.
