Abstract:	“MICHIBIKI” (QZS-1), was launched on September 2010 as the 1st Quasi-Zenith Satellite in Japan. QZS-1 has the functions to broadcast not only the same types of positioning signal with GPS satellites, but also unique ones, such as “L1-SAIF”. SPAC (Satellite Positioning Research and Application Center) has been investigating application of QZS system (QZSS) with our industrial partners, focusing high-precision “L1-SAIF” for Mass Market. The numerous activities for demonstration of application to promote the utilization of “L1-SAIF” signal have been performed by SPAC. This paper reports the summary of these operation experiments with L1-SAIF signal and the expanded message, “L1-SAIF+ (called as L1-SAIF plus)”.
