Wireless Communications from High Altitude Platforms

The demand for wireless communication is increasing day by day. People want a high speed of communication in less time. No one is interested in use of bunch of wires. So we move to wireless communication. As technology increases a demand also increases. Now everyone wants a fast communication from anywhere to anyone. Even rural area also requires internet facility. It is too hard to establish a Base station for particular small village for broadband communication or any wireless communication. Even it’s too costly to launch a satellite for particular rural area. So Engineers made a intermediate way to satisfy both facilities of data transfer from terrestrial to satellite and satellite to terrestrial via HAP (High Altitude Platform). HAP is operated at altitude of 17-22km. HAP provides facilities of wireless communications.
