1. ABSTRACT
Wireless communication is simply data communication without the use of landlines.
This may involve cellular telephone, twoway radio, fixed wireless (broadband wireless), laser (freespace optics) or satellite communications. Mobile wireless technologies are going to act as glue towards bringing together the wired and wireless to share and distribute information seamlessly across each other’s areas of reference. The paper firstly introduces the wireless communications and then switches to fourth generation in wireless communications. The paper then discusses about High Altitude Airships, the
“STRATELLITES” which are actually unmanned Kelvar balloons filled with helium which are used instead of towers for wireless communication, each of which replace hundreds of towers and reduce the cost of wireless communications. They also overcome the disadvantage of simple towers which could not provide proper coverage in the hilly areas.
2. INTRODUCTION
Stratellite is a brand name trademark of
Sanswire for a future emissions-free, highaltitude stratospheric airship that provides a stationary communications platform for various types of wireless signals usually carried by communications towers or satellites . The Stratellite is a concept that has undergone several years of research and
development, and is not yet commercially available; Sanswire, with its partner TAO
Technologies, anticipates its current testing sequence to include the launch of a
Stratellite into the stratosphere . Stratellite provide the required facilities of wireless communication more efficiently than the ordinary towers. The stratellite will allow subscribers to easily communicate in ‘both directions’ using
readily
