We're very excited that our partner company Authentic Japan has released new devices which include ELTRES for the Japanese market, targeted at mountain climbing as well as marine activities. Below is a rough translation of the original article at https://lnkd.in/gXtUMydv --- Translated Article --- "COCOHELI" to help find people lost in the mountains, "COCOHELI GPS+/SUMMIT" equipped with GPS on transmitter, and "COCOHELI Marine" for marine sports are now available. 1/17 (Wed) 7:31  AUTHENTIC JAPAN Co., Ltd., the operator of the mountain distress prevention system "COCOHELI," started to offer "COCOHELI GPS+/SUMMIT" and "COCOHELI Marine" for marine sports on January 16.  COCOHELI is a mountain distress countermeasure system using Sony Network Communications Corporation's "ELTRES" LPWA service. The system includes compensation services for search and rescue operations in distress, as well as search and rescue services, and users are provided with search transmitters.  ELTRES is characterized by its ability to communicate even in areas where mobile phone signals cannot reach, such as mountainous areas. COCOHELI's search and rescue service is a "direct communication" system in which helicopters detect transmitter signals. Since its launch in 2016, the service has handled 324 cases, including search and discovery in 34 cases, and coordination and search cooperation with police and fire departments nationwide in 95 cases. It has 150,000 paid members.  In COCOHELI GPS+/SUMMIT, the transmitter is equipped with GPS. By narrowing down the search area based on the location information obtained by GPS as well as direct communication, the search time can be greatly shortened.  GPS location information is transmitted from the transmitter to the base station every three minutes within the range of ELTRES. Location information can be checked not only by search agencies but also by family members using smartphones. If the battery is low, radio waves for direct communication will be sent for two months.  COCOHELI SUMMIT is a COCOHELI GPS+ plan with death and injury compensation and admission and hospital coverage. The annual fee is 18700 yen for COCOHELI SUMMIT and 13200 yen for COCOHELI GPS+. The basic COCOHELI is 5500 yen. A separate admission fee of 3300 yen is also required.  COCOHELI Marine is COCOHELI's service for marine sports. Members are provided with GPS-equipped transmitters and search and rescue services. The annual membership fee is 12000 yen.
