FOR YOUR SAFETYFor your safety

Snow-covered mountain climbing and backcountry skiing are adventures in untouched nature.
Everything is at your own risk and careful judgment is required. At the same time, it is a special experience that will leave you with an overwhelming sense of excitement and accomplishment.
On the other hand, getting lost or getting into an avalanche not only poses the risk of losing your life, but also places a huge burden on your family and those around you.
Advance preparation and thorough safety measures are essential to protect yourself and those around you.

Life-saving time saver

Cocoheli is a service that significantly shortens search time. Using Sony's GPS, we narrow down the search area using movement history, and direct communication enables quick and accurate location determination. It shortens the time from notifying rescue teams to arriving at the scene, saving your life. Your family can also feel at ease with the GPS history.

Compact and long life

Cocoheli can be used for about two months on a single charge. When the battery level gets low, it switches to energy saving mode and continues to transmit radio waves for up to two months even when out of range, covering the risk of your smartphone being out of range or running out of battery, providing peace of mind during rescue operations.
