SoftBank Corp (JP3732000009) stock was trading at EUR 1.33 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 5:02 p.m. CEST, while its Tokyo listing stood at JPY 237.40, 6.13 percent below the JPY 252.90 52-week high. On October 2, 2026, SoftBank said it had completed a verification trial for emergency mobile coverage from a large remotely piloted aircraft.
Aerial network reaches 3,000 meters
According to SoftBank on October 2, 2026, the aircraft carried a Japan-manufactured Disaster Relief Unit Pod containing communication equipment. The aircraft transmitted radio waves from an altitude of 3,000 meters and established a ground communication area with a diameter exceeding 5 kilometers. The release describes the trial as the first in Japan to provide mobile communications from the air with this type of pod mounted on a large remotely piloted aircraft.
Communication speeds add operating proof
The trial confirmed outdoor communication speeds of up to 20 Mbps downlink and up to 5 Mbps uplink with a bandwidth of 5 MHz, according to SoftBank. That combination gives the announcement a concrete operational dimension: the company is measuring coverage diameter, flight altitude and data speed rather than presenting the aircraft only as a concept. SoftBank said it will use the trial data to improve the pod and study operating methods for disaster deployment.
A market profile identifies SoftBank Corp as ticker 9434.T on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and assigns ISIN JP3732000009 to the company, with JPY as the quotation currency, according to Global Banking and Finance.

Next results date is November 9
SoftBank Corp lists its Earnings Results Briefing for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 on November 9, 2026, according to its Investor Relations page.
