Global Mobile Satellite Communications: For Maritime, Land and Aeronautical Applications

Global Stratospheric Platform Systems (GSPS) are the newest space technique with top technologies for fixed and mobile applications, including military solutions. These systems are using unmanned or manned aircraft and on solar or fuel energy airships and carrying payloads with transponders and antenna systems. With a few very cheap remote controlled and solar powered airships as a better solution, a territory can be covered of some region or country including urban, suburban and rural areas, farms and other environments with a low density of population. There are four general telecommunications architectures, which can be used to deliver broadband wireless local loop service to consumers. Two of these architectures are space-based GEO and Non-GEO satellite systems and the other two are terrestrial rooftop cellular-like millimetre wave repeaters and stratospheric relay platforms. The GSPS network offers better solutions than all cellular systems, with greater speed of transmission than even optical modes, roaming will be better, without shadowing problems and disturbances inside buildings and service will cost less. The GSPS mission can be integrated with current satellite and cellular systems; the system is more autonomous and discrete and will be the best solution for military and all mobile applications. For instance, the Halo Broadband GSPS Millimetre Wavelength (MMW) Network of the Angel Company provides data densities nearly one thousand times higher than proposed satellites, see Table 10.1 ., while having round trip time delays appropriate for interactive broadband services. Whereas, the delays through satellite network nodes, even through LEO satellite nodes,...
