Mapxus is thrilled to announce a significant update in collaboration with our esteemed partner, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.*1 Our indoor positioning and navigation technology, formerly known as iPNT-K™*2, has been rebranded as "mapxus Driven by Kawasaki™."

The rebranding is about more than a new name. It intends to foster an engaging experience that caters not just to our respected Japanese customers but also to the international audience. By making our service more recognizable, we foresee an enhancement of navigation in public spaces like shopping malls, airports, and stations.

At Mapxus, we deeply value the contribution Kawasaki has made, enabling us to make this strategic transition successfully. This vital partnership serves to unify our brand with our mission more seamlessly and heightens our capability to deliver unrivaled indoor navigation experiences.
