MetCom is a Tokyo-based company developing next-generation ground-wave 3D positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services. Its terrestrial system transmits signals up to 100,000 times stronger than GNSS, enabling centimetre-level, high-reliability location and time data across indoor, underground and dense urban areas. The technology earned top scores in every category of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s alternative PNT evaluations, underscoring its accuracy and resilience. In 2024 the company began a J-SPARC co-creation program with JAXA to combine its network with the quasi-zenith satellite “Michibiki,” further enhancing jamming resistance and precision. MetCom intends to deploy a nationwide base-station network to serve drones, air mobility, autonomous driving and other Society 5.0 applications. Proceeds from recent financings will fund construction and operation of this infrastructure. Including the new round, the company has raised roughly ¥2.2 billion to date, and views securing a robust domestic PNT capability as a national imperative.
