18 September 2025 — SoftBank Corp has taken another step toward realizing its vision of delivering 5G via High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS). The company recently conducted a field trial to test a payload designed to provide stable, wide-area connectivity from the stratosphere.
The trial demonstrated the potential of HAPS technology to extend mobile coverage to remote and underserved regions, offering a scalable solution for global connectivity. SoftBank’s initiative reflects ongoing efforts to integrate non-terrestrial networks into mainstream telecommunications infrastructure, supporting both commercial and emergency communication needs.
