Wireless terminal and base station switching method

A wireless terminal that is capable of performing communication with a plurality of base stations, the wireless terminal comprising:

• a storage unit that stores a communication history having at least location information on the wireless terminal and information pertaining to the base station at the time of communication in the past with each of the base stations;
• an acquisition unit that acquires the location information on the wireless terminal;
• a derivation unit that derives at least a connection subject base station for data communication and a connection standby base station from among the base stations, based on the location information on the wireless terminal acquired by the acquisition unit and the communication history stored in the storage unit, the connection subject base station having the highest priority for connection, and the connection standby base station having the next higher priority for connection which is second to the highest priority for connection;
• a communication unit that performs the data communication with the connection subject base station in a case where an attempt for connection to the connection subject base station succeeds;
• and
• a base station management unit that performs switching a connection subject base station that is to be used for the data communication to the connection standby base station, in a case where communication with the connection subject base station is interrupted.
