Sceye announced the successful trans-Pacific flight of its Service Test 1 (ST1) mission from New Mexico to Japan. Traveling more than 15,000 km through the stratosphere in 13 days, upon arrival over Japan, ST1 demonstrated mobile broadband connectivity to unmodified devices through SoftBank Corp.'s core network and HAPS-based edge computing and communication with drones to support the development of a 3D communications network. ST1 marks Sceye's first flight to Asia and a groundbreaking milestone towards the commercial deployment of HAPS as stratospheric infrastructure. Sceye's HAPS maintain altitude and their area of operation in the stratosphere through consecutive day and night cycles, operating like geostationary satellites, only 1,800 times closer to Earth and at a fraction of the cost. In 2025, SoftBank Corp. invested in Sceye's HAPS-based stratospheric infrastructure as a scalable solution to complement terrestrial towers and satellite constellations. ST1 carried SceyeCELL, a first-of-its-kind "cell tower in the sky" designed to deliver wide-area mobile broadband directly to standard devices from the stratosphere. When deployed at full scale, one Sceye HAPS is designed to cover the equivalent area of approximately 500 terrestrial towers. During the ST1 mission, Sceye and SoftBank demonstrated mobile broadband from the stratosphere, including text messaging, voice calls, internet access, and video streaming. Testing also included emergency calls, using an emergency alert messaging system designed for large-scale disasters, and communications with drones. Sceye's ST1 mission launched on August 9, 2026 at 7:00 AM MDT from New Mexico. Additional notable mission attributes include: Traveled more than 15,000 km across the Pacific to Japan in 13 days; Operated within Japanese managed air space for over 7 days; Remained continuously within its area of operation for an extended period, achieving a station-seeking radius as low as 5 km; Operated at approximately 16.5 km in altitude while completing telecommunications, drone, and emergency communications; Confirmed communications performance equivalent to that of terrestrial networks while reducing radio interference with ground-based base stations; Through a server installed on the HAPS, Sceye and SoftBank conducted data processing directly on the platform, demonstrating average round-trip processing response time of 68 milliseconds, reducing communications latency by over 40% compared with internet-based cloud processing. This marks the world's first successful test in which a mobile core network and a web server for processing were installed on a HAPS, enabling response processing to be performed entirely onboard the HAPS and the results to be relayed back to smartphones. ST1 remains in flight, returning towards the United States over the Pacific Ocean at the time of this announcement. This flight builds on Sceye's Endurance Program, completed earlier this year, when its SE2 HAPS traveled more than 10,000 km in the stratosphere from New Mexico to the coast of Brazil where it stayed over its area of operation for several days to test long-duration performance in preparation for the Service Test Program, the first of which flew to Japan.

SoftBank Corp. and TOPPAN Holdings Inc. jointly developed a lightweight, durable skin for use on solar High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) aircraft wings and devised a testing method that replicates the stratosphere's environment. Test production will go forward, and the aircraft wing skin is planned for use with HTA-type HAPS, which SoftBank plans to deploy for commercial services from 2029 onwards. This jointly developed HAPS aircraft wing skin and test method that reproduces stratospheric conditions were made possible by combining SoftBank's HAPS expertise and TOPPAN Holdings' know-how accrued over years of creating advanced multi-layered film technology designed for packaging and construction materials. TOPPAN Holdings also leveraged its proprietary technology that evaluates weather resistance. This joint development mitigates film damage (degradation) caused by strong ultraviolet (UV) rays and ultra-low temperatures of almost -100°C. As a result, the aircraft can stay in the stratosphere for longer periods. HAPS, also referred to as "base stations in the sky," provide communication services from uncrewed aircraft that remain airborne in the stratosphere. Being able to keep an aircraft with a communications payload airborne for extended periods of time would make it possible to provide an alternative means of communications in the aftermath of large-scale natural disasters, as well as provide communication services to under-connected areas, such as mountainous regions and remote islands. As these platforms operate from the stratosphere at an altitude of approximately 20 km above, they offer wider-area coverage than base stations on the ground, while also providing high-quality, high-volume, low-latency communications superior to satellite-based communications. However, at this altitude in the stratosphere, UV ray and ozone exposure is far greater than at ground level, and with exposure to extremely cold temperatures that sometimes drop to almost -100°C, impaired efficacy due to these environmental factors had been a serious issue with conventional all-purpose skins. Responding to this challenge, SoftBank and TOPPAN Holdings jointly developed a new ultra-lightweight, high-durability skin for aircraft wings capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of the stratosphere, along with a specialized methodology for its evaluation. Leveraging converting technology developed for packaging by TOPPAN Holdings, an optimized skin structure was achieved by precisely layering original materials and impact-resistant advanced resin suitable for use at extremely low temperature conditions. The resulting skin weighs the same as or less than average conventional all-purpose skin, and even if damage to the skin were to occur, the break-resistant design keeps damage from spreading, allowing for both a safe and lighter HAPS airframe. SoftBank has contributed real-world data from its stratospheric HAPS flights, including actual temperature measurements and deep ultraviolet (UV-C) ray exposure conditions, and has also defined requirements such as weight reduction and other performance criteria. This has enabled TOPPAN Holdings to design a skin that addresses exposure to the harsh environmental conditions of the stratosphere by applying technology developed for construction materials. These conditions particular to the stratosphere include everything from extremely low temperatures (approximately -50? to -95?) to extreme heat (approximately 100?) from direct sunlight. The skin is also resistant to short wave UV-C and high-concentration ozone (10-20 ppm, parts per million) exposure that are far stronger than at ground level. This durability will allow for extended HAPS operation periods. TOPPAN Holdings leveraged its knowledge of packaging film testing and accelerated durability testing of construction materials, to construct a new test environment that assesses the skin under a simulation of the ultralow temperatures of the stratosphere, while also facilitating the testing of simultaneous exposure from short wave UV rays and the ozone. By using this test environment, it is possible to understand the detailed mechanisms of deterioration particular to the stratosphere and to use that knowledge for improved product design. This understanding and design adjustment makes it possible to carry out a more precise and more reliable evaluation compared to former testing methods. SoftBank: Provide expertise required to evaluate the suitability of the skin as well as expertise on HAPS operations, Supervision of advancing use with HAPS aircraft and transferring advances to practical application. TOPPAN Holdings: Develop and provide skin material suitable for HAPS aircraft, Proposal for evaluation method in stratospheric environment. SoftBank and TOPPAN Holdings will proceed with research to make the skin material developed within the scope of this project even lighter and stronger by fiscal 2027 (the year ending March 31, 2028). Additionally, while evaluating durability in the stratosphere, both companies will also attempt to establish mass production technology capable of ensuring sufficient supply and reliable quality by fiscal 2028. Also, based on testing outcomes, additional functions will be added, and the skin is expected to be used by SoftBank on HTA-type HAPS aircraft that provide commercial services, planned for launch from 2029 onwards. Both companies also plan to apply this skin to other fields that require a high level of durability.

SoftBank Corp. announced a new vision, Telco AI Cloud, aimed at building next-generation social infrastructure for the AI era by leveraging its nationwide telecommunications foundation. Telco AI Cloud is an AI infrastructure vision that integrates a large-scale AI data center platform powered by a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) cloud, an AI-RAN-based MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) platform, and a software stack for AI data centers called 'Infrinia AI Cloud OS.' By optimizing AI processing from training to inference and utilizing its nationwide telecommunications infrastructure, SoftBank will build a distributed AI infrastructure that delivers low latency, high reliability, and sovereign capability (data sovereignty). Telco AI Cloud is a vision uniquely enabled by SoftBank’s position as a telecommunications operator with a nationwide network infrastructure. Unlike hyperscaler-type centralized clouds, it enables the construction of a distributed AI infrastructure embedded within a telecommunications network. Telco AI Cloud consists primarily of: Large-scale AI data centers (GPU cloud) responsible mainly for AI training, An AI-RAN-based MEC platform and orchestrator that perform low-latency inference processing, and the 'Infrinia AI Cloud OS' software stack that centrally manages and integrates these components. In its AI-RAN product 'AITRAS,' SoftBank is developing an orchestrator ('AITRAS Orchestrator') that monitors in real time the demand for computing resources used for both AI processing and RAN (Radio Access Network) control. Based on multiple indicators—such as resource availability, application requirements, and projected power consumption—the orchestrator dynamically and flexibly allocates resources. Within Telco AI Cloud, RAN itself is managed as a unified AI application, enabling advanced cross-domain control of computing resources across both the telecommunications network and AI processing infrastructure. In distributed AI infrastructure environments, variations in configurations across sites can create operational complexity. To address this challenge, SoftBank has developed 'Infrinia AI Cloud OS,' a software stack that provides integrated management from GPUs and telecommunications networks to Kubernetes and AI workloads. This enables optimized AI processing from training to inference and supports secure, multi-tenant GPU cloud operations. For more details on 'Infrinia AI Cloud OS. In conjunction with MWC Barcelona 2026, SoftBank has announced the following initiatives to realize Telco AI Cloud: Advancing Telecommunications Networks for the Physical AI Era Following the start of collaboration with Yaskawa Electric Corporation on physical AI robots utilizing MEC for social implementation of Physical AI, SoftBank successfully conducted a joint proof-of-concept with Ericsson using AI-RAN to deliver low-latency, high-reliability networks for Physical AI. By tightly integrating robots, networks, and computing resources, and enabling dynamic offloading of AI processing along with network optimization, SoftBank aims to realize next-generation networks that support real-time Physical AI applications. SoftBank has commenced collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. to expand the deployment of 'AITRAS' in the edge data center domain. This initiative enables secure, low-latency AI inference in on-premises environments, promoting advanced edge AI utilization in industrial sectors such as manufacturing. SoftBank has open-sourced the Dynamic Scoring Framework (DSF), a core function of the AITRAS Orchestrator. DSF enables optimization based on resource conditions in multi-cluster environments. Through this initiative, SoftBank will strengthen collaboration with partners and open-source software (OSS) communities, lower barriers to AI-RAN adoption, and accelerate commercial deployment. SoftBank is also strengthening integration between the AITRAS Orchestrator and Ericsson’s O-RAN-compliant SMO (Service Management and Orchestration), as well as Nokia’s AI platform, to enable dynamic allocation of computing resources across AI and RAN domains. This will support collaboration with SMO and the execution of external AI workloads, creating new AI-driven revenue opportunities for telecommunications operators. Additionally, through participation in OCUDU (Open Compute & Universal Distributed Unit), which aims to advance distributed AI-RAN infrastructure, SoftBank will promote the formation of an open and global AI-RAN ecosystem.

SoftBank Corp. unveiled its strategy for the next-generation of social infrastructure, marking a fundamental evolution in the role of telecommunications carriers. SoftBank announced its transition from a traditional carrier that simply moves data – raw, uninterpreted data packets – to an AI-native infrastructure provider enabling distributed AI workloads across edge and cloud environments. SoftBank's Telco AI Cloud vision evolves the network into a central nervous system: an active computation platform that operates AI models directly within the infrastructure. Through AI-RAN-based MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing), SoftBank can now orchestrate and broker AI workloads across this distributed edge, offloading GPU compute to deliver real-time, reliable inference where it is needed. By embedding this intelligence from the core to the edge, SoftBank is creating a distributed platform that delivers meaning, not just data, enabling immediate decision-making for robotics, autonomous systems, and smart cities. For Physical AI, this means resource-constrained robots can now perform complex, scalable behaviors that would otherwise be difficult to achieve independently; powered not by what they carry but by the network intelligence that surrounds them. A key highlight of the announcement was SoftBank's focus on 'Physical AI': the convergence of AI with the physical world of robotics. Unlike traditional centralized clouds, Telco AI Cloud brings intelligence to the edge, enabling robots to make split-second decisions based on sensor data, performing complex behaviors that their onboard hardware alone could not independently support. Following a collaboration with Yaskawa Electric Corporation focused on deploying robots in real-world environments, SoftBank successfully demonstrated a joint proof-of-concept with Ericsson. The demonstration showcased how AI-RAN networks can optimize connectivity for robots, ensuring the stability required to work safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. In collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., SoftBank is deploying its 'AITRAS' platform in edge data center environments to support industrial use cases. This initiative brings secure AI inference to factory floors, promoting digital transformation in the manufacturing sector and helping to address labor shortages through automation. To foster global innovation, SoftBank has open-sourced the Dynamic Scoring Framework (DSF), a core function of the AITRAS Orchestrator, SoftBank's AI-RAN product. By sharing this technology with the open-source community, SoftBank aims to lower barriers to entry for AI-RAN adoption, inviting developers worldwide to contribute to a more efficient and accessible global infrastructure. SoftBank's Telco AI Cloud vision represents more than a technological upgrade; it is a fundamental shift from transporting data to distributing intelligence. By evolving the network into a ubiquitous AI platform, SoftBank enables the network to not just connect devices but empowers carriers with immediate, context-aware understanding, wherever they operate. Whether alleviating labor shortages through intelligent automation, enhancing industrial safety with edge AI, or enabling robots to perform beyond their own hardware limitations through network-distributed compute, SoftBank is building a central nervous system for society, one where distributed AI infrastructure serves as the catalyst for a more sustainable, productive, and connected future for all.

Northeastern University's Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems (INSI), SoftBank Corp. (SoftBank), Keysight Technologies, and zTouch Networks are demonstrating Autonomous Agentic AI-RAN (AgentRAN) at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026. AgentRAN is a first-of-its-kind system that coordinates a hierarchy of AI agents to translate high-level operator intents into real-time, autonomous 5G and 6G network configurations and services. The demonstration is the latest milestone in a collaboration anchored at Northeastern University, where INSI has served as a nexus for industry-ac academic partnerships at the frontier of intelligent wireless networks. Over the past few years, Northeastern has built deep research ties with SoftBank on AI-native architectures, leading to multiple publications, AI-RAN Alliance demonstrations, and innovation in next-generation wireless. INSI collaborate with Keysight on AI-RAN testing and spun off zTouch Networks to commercialize technology on open, GPU-accelerated RAN infrastructure. This demo brings those threads together for the first time around a shared vision: truly autonomous, AI-driven radio access networks. At the heart of the demo is AgentRAN, developed at Northeastern's Open6G AI-RAN Alliance Lab. Operators express goals in natural language - such as "maximize throughput while prioritizing emergency traffic" - and the AgentRAN Manager decomposes these intents into actions for specialized agents operating across the RAN stack. The agents are powered by the SoftBank's Large Telecom Model (LTM), a purpose-built foundation model trained on telecom-specific KPIs, configurations, and domain data--f further optimized with high-fidelity training data generated using Keysight's RF digital twin channel emulation solutions with real world accurate 3D ray tracing capabilities (RaySIM, PROPSIM) for more accurate decisions than generic cloud models can deliver. The Northeastern Open6G AI-Ran lab, using Keysight's PROPSIM, demonstrates multiple agentic scenarios, deployed on an end-to-end programmable private 5G AI-RAN infrastructure, managed and orchestrated by zTouch Networks' zTouch.OS. Using Keysight's AI-RAN performance scoring solution, the system shows clear performance gains linked to the use of SoftBank's LTM, high fidelity training datasets generated by Keysight RF digital twin solutions, and zTouch Networks' zTouch".OS.

Lightspeed (Lightspeed Ventures, LLC) has entered the fray to pick up a stake in cloud infrastructure startup Neysa (Neysa Networks Private Limited), joining Japanese investor SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE:9984) and private equity firm Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX), which have already been in talks, according to people in the know. While Blackstone is negotiating a buyout of Neysa, Lightspeed, much like SoftBank, is discussing picking up a $40-50 million minority stake in the Z47 and Nexus Venture Partners-backed startup. "Blackstone wants to buy a majority stake in Neysa, while SoftBank and Lightspeed are discussing a minority investment that is expected to value the company at around $250-300 million," said one of the persons, who did not wish to be identified. "These are all early-stage negotiations. "The $250-300 million valuation will mark a significant jump in valuation for the startup, which was last valued at around $76 million during its October 2024 funding round. The company raised $50 million in funding across two rounds in 2024 from Nexus Venture Partners, Z47, Blume Ventures and NTTVC."Indian founders are going all-in on the application layer of AI, but very few are taking on the infrastructure layer because of its capital-intensive nature. it needs land, power and deep technical talent, and that's not an easy mix for most startups," said a technology investor. "That's why we're seeing many entrepreneurs from India building software and enterprise tools instead. Neysa's founding team, though, has already built at that scale with Netmagic, which makes them stand out in the sense that they actually know how to pull off AI infrastructure in India." Neysa did not respond to ET's queries till press time. Emails sent to Lightspeed and SoftBank also went unanswered. Blackstone declined to comment. The negotiations for a stake in Neysa signal increasing investor interest in Indian alternatives to hyperscalers.

SB OAI Japan will leverage OpenAI’s advanced AI technology to market Crystal intelligence — a packaged enterprise AI solution that integrates OpenAI’s latest products with tailored implementation and system integration services. SB OAI Japan is expected to market Crystal intelligence exclusively in Japan, with availability planned for 2026. Crystal intelligence is designed to help organizations enhance productivity and management efficiency through the adoption of advanced AI tools. The solution combines OpenAI’s enterprise offerings with localized implementation and support provided through SB OAI Japan. Ahead of the rollout of Crystal intelligence to customers in Japan, SoftBank Corp. will adopt and deploy this technology as the first user, validating its effectiveness in product development and business transformation through advanced AI technologies. The insights and operational expertise gained through these initiatives will be accumulated and shared progressively with other enterprises via SB OAI Japan. The SoftBank Group is promoting its transformation into an AI-native group of companies, with all employees actively utilizing AI in their daily operations. By leveraging OpenAI’s technology, the Group has already created approximately 2.5 million custom GPTs (ChatGPTs that can be customized for specific tasks or use cases) for internal use, and is now working to establish a foundation for Crystal intelligence. By rolling out Crystal intelligence and supporting the utilization of AI that is deeply rooted in management and operational processes, SB OAI Japan will transform the management of Japan’s companies. Morrison Foerster advised SoftBank Group in its joint venture with OpenAI Group PBC to form SB OAI Japan GK, which will provide “Crystal intelligence” to transform the corporate management and operational practices of Japan’s enterprises with AI.
