Plans for Galileo HAS (High Accuracy Service)

Part of the overall plans for Galileo was to include a free signal that would allow for 20cm realtime accuracy. The signal would be sent from the satellites (E6-B) or over the internet and applies to Galileo and GPS satellites. It appears this went live in January of 2023. Is there any plan for Javad to implement this feature in existing or future products? It sounds like a compelling opportunity. I'd certainly pay for a firmware upgrade to support it. WAAS does well, far better than its design specification of 3-5m. WAAS is particularly good on the LS with its HTDP transformation from ITRF to NAD83, but I don't think I can say I reliably get sub-foot results (often but not always) and the corrections only apply to GPS. It seems Galileo HAS is superior and would have a lot of benefits in the geospatial world.
