"Our goal with this next proof-of-concept demonstration is to share with the rest of the world what we already know that we can put an airship in the stratosphere and communicate wirelessly with that platform to create a product that could change wireless communications forever," said Michael K. It is estimated that these tests will run for a 60 to 90 day period. The Stratellite will be launched multiple times and remain in one geostationary position within the stratosphere for days at a time while various test are carried out concerning the communication systems, antenna array, launching and retrieving the airship, environmental systems, airship navigation, and up/down link capabilities. With the wireless communications platform tested earlier in Atlanta mounted to the Stratellite, the Company will be able to demonstrate how the communications payload will operate from its desired final altitude of 65,000 feet. The Company will complete the remaining tests of its Stratellite program in preparation for the launch of its first permanent Stratellite scheduled for later in 2005. The Stratellite will be positioned at an altitude of just under twelve miles above the earth's surface. Sanswire Networks has scheduled the launch date of its first Stratellite.įollowing the successful test of the wireless communications capabilities of its Stratellite earlier this month, Sanswire plans to launch a high-altitude airship into the stratosphere by the end of January 2005. : Stratellite : High-altitude telecommunications airship for cellular, 3G and 4G mobile, MMDS, paging, and fixed wireless telephony
