SoftBank's unique reference points installed nationwide at high density.
To perform RTK-GNSS positioning, one method is to set up your own reference points at the site as known points, but the downside is that it takes time to install and adjust them. At ALES, users can utilize SoftBank's unique reference points, which are densely installed across a wide area nationwide, eliminating the need for users to set up their own reference points, allowing for easy and cost-effective service usage. Additionally, when traveling long distances, it is also possible to automatically switch reference points while maintaining high-precision and stable positioning.

basic information
At ALES Corporation, we utilize the unique reference points received by SoftBank Corporation to generate and distribute correction information through the ALES distribution system. By using the generated/distributed correction information along with the signals received by GNSS receivers (mobile stations), real-time high-precision positioning with an accuracy of a few centimeters can be achieved. By applying corrections through the correction information, it becomes possible to provide high-precision location information for agricultural machinery, drones, construction equipment, autonomous vehicles, and more.

Company information
ALES Corporation is a company established in July 2018 through joint investment by SoftBank Corp. and Enabler Inc., which has technical expertise in satellite positioning. Based on signals received by SoftBank's unique reference points, ALES generates correction information using the "ALES Distribution System (*1)" and provides the necessary correction information for high-precision positioning to GNSS (*2) receivers (including dedicated devices, smartphones, etc.), or performs correction calculations on the cloud to directly deliver highly accurate location information to GNSS receivers, enabling centimeter-level positioning. Please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. *1 The ALES Distribution System is our proprietary high-precision positioning information distribution system based on RTK (Real Time Kinematic) positioning. *2 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) refers to a collective term for satellite positioning systems such as QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System), GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo.
