Over three billion people lack internet access, prompting innovative solutions for connectivity. World Mobile and Protelindo have launched World Mobile Stratospheric, which employs hydrogen-powered aircraft to deliver internet from 20,000 meters high, thereby moving away from traditional cell towers. The joint venture focuses on high-altitude platform systems, aiming to make direct-to-device mobile service commercially viable. The aircraft, designed for civil airspace, utilize advanced antenna systems to adaptively cover various regions, thus addressing the challenges faced by mobile network operators and underserved communities.
World Mobile and Protelindo are replacing the telecom tower model with hydrogen-powered aircraft, named World Mobile Stratospheric, that beam internet directly to smartphones from 20,000 meters in the sky.
CST's high-altitude platform system has been proven to support 5G calls and aims to deliver carrier-grade, direct-to-device mobile service from the stratosphere.
