SoftBank to launch high-altitude 5G network using solar planes and airships by 2026

SoftBank is preparing to commercialize its next-generation telecommunications infrastructure using high-altitude platforms by 2026, marking a pivotal milestone in its UTX (Ubiquitous Transformation) initiative. The company announced that it will deploy a hybrid fleet of solar-powered aircraft and unmanned airships to operate base stations in the stratosphere, approximately 20 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. This dual-platform system is expected to support emergency communications first, with plans to expand into broader commercial services by 2027.
