What Lequios soft does

Lequios soft Inc. (レキオスソフト株式会社) is a privately held Japanese software company founded in October 2002, headquartered in Tokyo (relocated from Naha, Okinawa in July 2025) with engineering centers in Naha and Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture. The company designs, develops, and operates mission-critical disaster-prevention and meteorological systems, holding Earthquake Prediction Business Permit No. 212 from the Japan Meteorological Agency under the Meteorological Service Law. Its core technology is built around two proprietary product families: Leximo®, a high-availability (HA) cluster middleware suite for 24/7 continuous operation, and 震前大使 (Pre-Earthquake Ambassador), an emergency earthquake early-warning application that calculates seismic intensity and arrival times for up to 128 locations and dispatches alerts to hospitals, police, schools, airports, and fire departments. Supporting modules include waveform database ingestion (WaveReceiver, supporting WIN32 and Mini SEED formats at up to 100,000 channels), packet recording/playback, and time-simulation utilities for historical event validation.

The company generates revenue through four streams: custom software development and integration for government, defense, and meteorological customers; network and server construction with ongoing maintenance; licensed package sales of Leximo® and 震前大使; and an SES (System Engineering Service) engineer-placement business covering robotics, power forecasting, video analytics, electronic medical records, and shortest-path algorithms. Customers are concentrated in the public sector and among NEC Group companies (NEC Corporation, NEC Solution Innovator, NEC Networks & System Integration, NEC Aerospace Systems), supplemented by the Japan Meteorological Agency, defense agencies, and system integrators such as Meisei Electric and DTS Insight. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales; the company operates without channel partners or public APIs. It maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications (renewed December 2024) and a Labor Dispatch License, and is pursuing international expansion via a JICA-backed early earthquake detection deployment in Peru. The firm is family/founder controlled under Representative Director Jun Shibasaki and Director Yumi Shibasaki, with approximately 100 employees and ¥64.35M in registered capital.

Core offering

Lequios soft develops and sells disaster prevention software and high-availability cluster middleware for mission-critical infrastructure. Its core product portfolio centers on the Leximo® HA cluster platform (for 24/7 continuous operation systems) and the 震前大使 (Pre-Earthquake Ambassador) early earthquake warning system, complemented by custom software development, network/server construction, and IT engineer placement (SES) services for government agencies and major Japanese corporations.

Product overview

Lequios soft offers a portfolio of disaster prevention and high-availability software products centered around two main families: Leximo and 震前大使. Leximo is an HA (High Availability) cluster middleware platform consisting of three core modules (Leximo/base for system monitoring, Leximo/duplex for failover redundancy, and Leximo/alert for alarm notification) plus five specialized applications (Communication for data exchange, WaveReceiver for seismic waveform database, EEW for early earthquake detection, TimeControl for time simulation, and PacketRecorder for packet capture/replay). 震前大使 is a separate emergency earthquake notification product that integrates with government meteorological services to provide real-time seismic alerts and automated response triggers for connected infrastructure systems. Both product lines target government agencies, meteorological organizations, and mission-critical infrastructure operators requiring uninterrupted 24/7 system operation.
