ABSTRACT

A communication apparatus includes a wide-area wireless communicator to
transmit and receive information to and from a transport vehicle via a
wireless access point through wide-area wireless communication, a short-range
wireless communicator to transmit and receive information to and from a
communication device through short-range wireless communication with a
communication range narrower than a communication range of the wide-area
wireless communication, and a controller configured or programmed to convert
the information received by the wide-area wireless communicator from wide-area
wireless communication information into short-range wireless communication
information, and output the short-range wireless communication information to
the short-range wireless communicator, and convert the information received by
the short-range wireless communicator from short-range wireless communication
information into wide-area wireless communication information, and output the
wide-area wireless communication information to the wide-area wireless
communicator.
