Communications from Aerial Platform Networks delivering “Broadband for All”
Will deliver ‘Broadband for All’ from high altitude aerial
platforms
Balanced research, development and exploitation activities
€5.6M project involving >60 people from complementary organisations
Started Nov 03 and runs for 3 years

Coverage from a HAP
Potentially very large coverage.
E.g. - 1 HAP over London @ 20 km altitude: line of sight:
5º elevation
