Soliton Systems Inc. has participated in the Japan-Ukraine Public-Private Council on the Reconstruction of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Infrastructure and has begun efforts to support Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts.
The Council, JUPITeR, was established in January 2025 under the initiative of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, with the aim of promoting the participation of Japanese companies in Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts.
The inaugural meeting was attended by Japanese and Ukrainian government officials, as well as more than 200 representatives from approximately 100 companies, mainly from the infrastructure sector, who expressed their enthusiasm and expectations for supporting Ukraine with Japanese technology.

We will participate in this framework and contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine’s infrastructure through cutting-edge technology. Specifically, we will contribute to the remote control of construction machinery in war-stricken areas by utilizing the “Zao Series,” a short-latency video transmission device that uses multiple mobile lines without interruption.
Soliton has been participating in demonstration experiments on the automation and remote operation of construction machinery under the “i-Construction 2.0” initiative advocated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and has been conducting technical verification. Due to improvements in the stability of carrier lines and improved work efficiency through short-delay video, remote control technology is becoming more widespread at construction sites in Japan.
The reconstruction of Ukraine requires safe and efficient reconstruction of infrastructure. In particular, in war-torn areas, work must be carried out in environments where unexploded ordnance and hazardous materials remain, so ensuring the safety of workers is a major challenge. By utilizing remote control technology, it becomes possible to carry out work without going to the site, providing an opportunity for people with difficulty moving and injured people to be involved in reconstruction support.
As a member of this council, through our overseas subsidiary Soliton Systems Europe NV, we will work with domestic and international partners to build a system that enables remote control of construction machinery based on the Zao Series.
The company plans to jointly exhibit with a local partner at bauma2025, one of the largest exhibitions in the construction machinery industry, to be held in Munich, Germany in April 2025, and demonstrate its remote control technology.
Soliton will take this opportunity to utilize Japanese construction technology and remote control technology, an ICT solution, to improve the efficiency of reconstruction work, and in the future aims to contribute to the restoration of infrastructure and technological innovation in the construction industry around the world.
