INTRODUCTION
Wireless communication is simply data
communication without the use of landlines. This
may involve cellular telephone, two-way radio, fixed
wireless (brodband wireless) and satellite
communication
Generation of wireless communication
1G
2G
3G
4TH GENERATION:
High speed
High capacity with low bit per cost
High capacity with reasonable frequency
bandwith



Broad-Band wireless system
Intelligent transport system
HAPs
4G AND ITS SYSTEM
HAPs
Optical communication links
Broadband access link
Operated at an altitude of 3-22 km
EXISTING TECHNOLOGY
Satellite communication is the backbone of wireless
communications, and global positioning systems.
Satellites in orbit of the planet cover huge footprint
territories and make almost instantaneous
communication possible.
Satellite comes in 4 types:
GEO
LEO
MEO


CONTD..
ADVANTAGES OF SATELLITES :
High bandwidth
Coverage of large geographical areas
Can be cheaper over long distance
DRAWBACKS OF SATELLITES:
Signal latency
expensive launch , additional level of regulation by
nation space authorities and orbital allotment by ITU
interferences

STRATELLITE
A Stratellite is similar to a satellite, but is stationed in the
stratosphere rather than in orbit.
It is high altitude airship (HAA) which is positioned
approximately 13 miles above the earth which provide the
benefits of satellite like remote sensing ,navigation etc.
CONSTRUCTION
Outer layer is made of spectra is a fabric used in bullet
proof vests
Mylar is inner layer which is filled with a mixture of
helium and air



CONSTRUCTION
Consists of:
Propeller
Solar cells
Helium gas bag
Catenary curtain
Hybrid electric motors
regenerative fuel cells
X-shaped tail assembly

WORKING
Inside it is filled with helium ,
which is non flammable inert gas
He gas expands and
pushes out the air and lifts
the airship
Solar cells spared
on the surface generates electricity
which drives the propellers and
works with GPS technology to
keep stratellite stationary

Stratellite communication
High-altitude telecommunications airship for cellular,
3G and 4G mobile, MMDS, paging, and fixed wireless
telephony
Like FTTH, a Stratellite is anticipated to be able to
deliver a variety of services including broadband
Internet, HDTV, telephone as well as 3G/4G mobile
phone services. The actual technology used to deliver
much of this, however, is a mystery, with even WiMax
only being able to deliver 70Mbps in total bandwidth.
One has to wonder just how, exactly, a Stratellite will be
able to give potentially millions of people high speed
broadband and high bandwidth HDTV at the same
time, not to mention how it plans on connecting to
existing networks such as an Internet backbone or a
mobile phone network with a fast enough link.
Nevertheless, this is a serious technology that could
prove to be the sleeper out of the draft class.
TRANSMISION AND CODING
TECHNIQUES
Use of radio frequency
Directional antenna
Modulation techniques used are QPSK,QAM,BPSK
ADVANTAGES
Decrease in signal latency
Less expensive launch
Services an area of 300,000 square-miles
Two-way high speed communication
High speed broad-band access even in remote areas
For a country two stratellites are enough instead of
thousands of towers

Stratellie carry 20,000 pounds of radar and other
remote imaging equipment ,navigational aids and
telecommunication relays
It is planned to remain on the station for more than a
year and will cost one fifth of the cost as much ad
comparable satellite
DISADVANTAGES
May lead to traffic problems in stratosphere
Would require efficient ground stations and
maintainance
This technology remains non-commercialized and
still in prototype stage for further development

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, paging, fixed wireless
telephony, HDTV, real-time surveillance and OTHERS..

By linking several stratellites we can provide wireless
Broadband access over thousands of miles .
CONCLUTION
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.
