noun
Computing term for a fixed communication station, such as in wireless networks or radio systems.

このエリアにはベース基地が少ないため、電波が弱い。
Because there are few base stations in this area, the signal is weak.
Compound of English loanword ベース (base) and 基地 (きち, 'base, station'). The exact derivation is uncertain, but it likely arose as a technical term in computing and radio communication.
