The stratosphere, stretching 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, offers a unique vantage point for telecommunications. Unlike terrestrial infrastructure, limited by geography and terrain, High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) operate above the clouds, free from such limitations. By harnessing solar power and utilizing advanced propulsion systems, these platforms can remain aloft for extended periods, providing uninterrupted coverage to vast areas below.
