The solitary hub is located in a HALO aircraft also known as the High Altitude Aeronautical Platform Station(HAAPS) operating at an altitude higher than commercial airline traffic and adverse weather.

It is located at an altitude miles above terrestrial wireless, but hundreds to thousands of miles below satellite networks.,[object Object]

HALO Aircraft ,[object Object]

Houses the antenna array which creates hundreds of contiguous virtual cells on the ground to serve thousands of users.,[object Object],[object Object]

Rapid Buildout A HALO Network can be put into operation within weeks. Upon network activation, it provides service to the full super metropolitan area.

High Signal Quality and Availability At frequencies above 20 GHz, where wireless broadband services are being licensed, high losses of signals are caused by ground terrain, foliage and rain. The high viewing angles to HALO aircraft (20 degrees or greater) assure signal paths free of absorbing objects. The combination of a large aperture and high signal power utilized by the HALO Network allows service availability in regions with high rainfall rates.

High Bandwidth The initial capacity of the network will be on the scale of 10 Gb/s, with growth beyond 100 Gb/s. This enables services including but not limited to T1 access, ISDN access, Web browsing, high-resolution videoconferencing, large file transfers, offsite training and Ethernet LAN bridging.

Low Cost Negligible ground infrastructure, coupled with a large footprint and multi-megabit-per-second data rates make it extremely competitive on a $/bit/square mile basis.

Advantages Over Terrestrial Networks ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

High look angle preventing signal fading.,[object Object],[object Object]

The capacity of a satellite network can be increased only by adding more satellites, which is very expensive.,[object Object]

Unlike satellite systems, which are multi-billion dollar investments, the HALO Network can be financed one market at a time, which makes it more suitable for developing countries.,[object Object],[object Object]

The central node, can be routinely serviced for optimal performance, and be steadily enhanced with emerging technologies.,[object Object]
