A wireless terminal that carries out communication by a wireless circuit includes information acquisition means, transmission means, and transmission control means. The information acquisition means measures the communication quality of the wireless circuit. The transmission control means issues an instruction to the transmission means to transmit area quality information when basic transmission trigger conditions that have been determined in advance as time information are satisfied and when additional transmission trigger conditions are satisfied that have been determined that correspond to the state of the wireless terminal such that battery consumption is reduced. Upon receiving the instruction, the transmission means transmits area quality information that includes the communication quality that was measured by the information acquisition means.
