New "Ntrip (G-VRS) Plan" for ichimill: Now Compatible with Public Surveying

"ichimill" is a high-precision positioning service for corporate clients capable of achieving accuracy within just a few centimeters. Starting October 1, 2025, the new "Ntrip (G-VRS) Plan" is available. This plan utilizes the VRS method compliant with operational regulations for public surveying, allowing you to use it with confidence for public works projects. The "Ntrip (G-VRS) Plan" leverages data from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI)'s Electronic Reference Points. It generates a virtual reference station near your location to distribute correction data. 【Features of the New "Ntrip (G-VRS) Plan"】 VRS Method: Generates a "Virtual Reference Station" near the user's location using GSI Electronic Reference Point data to transmit correction information. Seamless Transition: Utilizes approximately 1,300 GSI Electronic Reference Points. Users familiar with conventional VRS methods can transition and implement this system smoothly. First Domestic Software: Adopts Japan's first domestically developed VRS software. Cost-Effective: Available at a low cost (18,000 JPY/month excluding tax).

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
