 CONCEPT OF SATELLITES

Satellite communication is the backbone of wireless

communications and global positioning systems..
Satellites come in 4 types,
(i)geostationary orbit (iii)medium-earth
orbit
(ii)ellipitical (iv)low-earth orbit
VARIOUS ORBITS OF SATELLITES
 What is a Stratellite?
A Stratellite is similar to a satellite, but is stationed in the
stratosphere rather than in orbit.
At an altitude of over 10 miles, each Stratellite will have clear
line-of-site communications capability to an entire major-
metropolitan area.
The Stratellite is designed to carry certain payloads into the
Stratosphere determined by the requirements of the customer.
The concept allows for ascent and descent and stationary
operation.

 STRATELLITES FROM SATELLITES
As the name suggests, it is a satellite, in the
stratosphere.
it has the straight up-and-down communications
advantages of any other satellites.
Using airship technology, a stratellite is above the cloud
layers and so can be powered by solar cells and
propelled by electric motors.
Launching costs are next to nothing, and at nearly 250
feet long, they have enough lift for sophisticated
computation equipment - more than most conventional
satellites
Such a platform can fundamentally change how the
world delivers wireless telecommunications and the way
we as individuals communicate.
SATELLITES & STRATELLITES

SATELLITE STRATELLITE
 Stratellite
High-altitude telecommunications airship for cellular,
3G and 4G mobile, MMDS, paging, and fixed wireless
telephony
 STRUCTURE
Like the great airships of the 1930s, the Stratellites are
whales of the sky. The prototype "Sanswire One" is 188
feet long and shaped like a double-wide dirigible. It is a
dirigible. The skeleton is a thin frame of high strength
aluminum.
The skin is a light colored DuPont Tedlar, a polyvinyl
fluoride film that clings tightly to protect the innards of
the craft. Inside are helium lift cells and the
communications gear that makes the Stratellite a
wireless repeater for broadband Internet, including VoIP,
and perhaps cellular telephone and video transmission.
WHALE OF THE SKY..!
 COUNTRIES IN THIS CONCEPT
In addition to U.S. based telecom services, Stratellites
have a built-in demand worldwide.
GlobeTel, the parent company of Sanswire Networks LLC,
is reported to have an agreement to provide Stratellites for
broadband, VoIP and video to South America, starting
with Lima, Peru.
They'd also be perfect for the huge landmass of Asia and
the extensive island archipelago of Indonesia
GlobeTel Communications Corp. provided an update on
the launch of the Stratellite prototype being built in
California….
 ADVANTAGES
No rigid part in the body, ability to compactly roll it
together and store in a truck or crate
Recoverable payloads with expendable vehicle
Substantial cost reductions achieved by saving the material
for the envelopes and receptacles for energy supply
Offers many of the features of other more well-known ISR
platforms and UAVs but with significant cost savings and
extended duration missions
A rotating system of airships are designed to ultimately
operate 24/7/365 in the stratosphere with dramatically less
assets than current systems.
 APPLICATIONS
In environmental disasters telecommunication breaks down within
seconds, Re-installation of the infrastructure takes weeks or
months. The Stratellite can be used as a floating mobile
telecommunication station for all telecommunication purposes and
the transmission of temporary data communication,
telecommunication and TV-programs as well as long-term missions
over metropolitan cities.
The Stratellite will allow subscribers to easily communicate in "both
directions" using readily available wireless devices. In addition
to voice and data, proposed telecommunications uses include
cellular, 3G/4G mobile, MMDS, paging, fixed wireless telephony,
HDTV, real-time surveillance and OTHERS..
A Sanswire Stratellite is designed to operate at 65,000
feet and will integrate clean solar energy collection
systems with advanced wireless communication.
 Sensor systems to allow communities across the globe
to rapidly deploy inexpensive, environmentally
friendly infrastructure.
IN ORBIT….
 CONCLUSION
Probably the most "far out there" concept in this roundup,
Stratellite is actually much closer to reality than what you may
think.
This is a promising technology that could combine the best of
Satellite and wired Internet - fast with low latency and hugely
widespread, at least in theory.
Whilst it is still unclear how exactly a floating broadband hub
could haul its data back down to earth wirelessly with acceptable
bandwidth (keeping in mind its potential ability to serve
millions of people at a time), rest assured this is a prime
candidate for tomorrow's broadband world. Whether or not it
will get the industry support required, however, is yet to be seen.
