Projects are already developing High-Altitude Platforms (HAPS) aiming to provide widescale coverage of 5G from the stratosphere at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of terrestrial networks. This session examines the use-cases, explores the enabling phased array antenna technology, and reports on the latest from the BT, Stratospheric Platforms Ltd (SPL) and Cambridge Consultants tests to develop a secure 5G HAPS communications demonstration system.
