An object of the invention is to provide a folding-type portable wireless equipment which can obtain good antenna characteristics in each of opened and closed states with a simple configuration without spoiling miniaturization. A folding-type portable wireless equipment (100) having a first case (11) and a second case (12) includes a first circuit board (101) disposed at the first case (11), a second circuit board (102) disposed at the second case (12), a bendable coupling portion (13) which mechanically couples the first case (11) and the second case (12), a flexible coupling element (103) which electrically couples the first circuit board (101) and the second circuit board (102), a radio circuit portion (106) provided at the second circuit board (102), an antenna element (104) coupled to the radio circuit portion (106) via a feeder line (105), and a switching portion (109) which selectively connects and disconnects between the first circuit board (101) and the antenna element (104) in accordance with an opened/closed state of the folding-type portable wireless equipment (100), wherein the antenna element (104) and the feeder line 105 are dispose at positions almost along the coupling portion (103).
