2. Satellite communication is the backbone of
wireless communications, and global
positioning systems. Satellites in orbit of the
planet cover huge footprint territories and
make almost instantaneous communication
possible.
3. The first is signal latency, which can cause
problems in establishing broadband links.
The second drawback is that satellites are in
space, requiring expensive space launches,
an additional level of regulation by national
space authorities, and an orbital allotment by
the International Telecommunications Union
(ITU).
4. A Stratellite is similar to a satellite, but is stationed in
the stratosphere rather than in orbit.
At an altitude of over 10 miles, each Stratellite will
have clear line-of-site communications capability to
an entire major-metropolitan area as well as being
able to provide coverage across major rural areas.
The Stratellite is designed to carry certain payloads
into the Stratosphere determined by the requirements
of the customer.
The concept allows for ascent and descent and
stationary operation. Short and long time missions are
possible with the Stratellite with possible launch
capabilities setup within 24 hours at any location.

7. Outer layer is made up of
spectra, used in bullet
proof vests
Filled with mixture of air
and helium
Consists :
propellers
solar cell
regenerative fuel cells
Helium gas bag
Transponder
Hybrid electric motors
8. Inside is filled with helium gas as it is inert it
is non flammable
helium gas expands pushing out air and
lifting the airship
Uses solar cells sprayed on there surface to
generate electricity
The generated electricity drives propellers
that work with GPS technology to keep the
stratellite stationary
9. Decrease signal latency.
Less expensive to launch.
Service an area of 300000sq miles.
Two way high speed data
communication.
High speed broad band access even
in remote area.
For a country two stratellite are
enough instead of thousands of
towers.
Stratellite will carry over 20,000
pounds of radars and other
equipment, navigation aids and
telecommunication relays.
Stratellite are planned to remain on
station for a year at a time and will
cost one fifth as much as compared
to satellite.
10. Traffic problems in the stratosphere
Keeping Stratellites on station for such long
periods of time
Would require efficient ground control and
maintenance
Unlike with a satellite , a stratellite is at the
mercy of the weather
11. The Stratellite can be used as a floating mobile
telecommunication station for all
telecommunication purposes.
The Stratellite will allow subscribers to easily
communicate in "both directions" using readily
available wireless devices.
In addition to voice and data, proposed
telecommunications uses include cellular,
3G/4G mobile, MMDS, paging, fixed wireless
telephony, HDTV, real-time surveillance and
OTHERS.
Application case : “Google’s Project Loon”
12. Probably the most "far out there" concept in this
roundup, Stratellite is actually much closer to reality
than what you may think.
Once the defects of Stratellites have been overcome and
become more reliable, they play a vital role in the future
generation wireless communication.
This is a promising technology that could combine the
best of Satellite and wired Internet - fast with low
latency and hugely widespread, at least in theory
