Abstract
Broadband wireless data network systems and commercial methods for delivery of wireless communication services are described. The network systems utilize wavelengths in the E-band of the spectrum, and are mounted to aircraft. The aircraft based platform transmits communications data wirelessly at altitudes of 35,000 feet or greater, forms an airborne wireless mesh network nation-wide, and utilizes ground station network gateways to connect ground based communications and data devices.
Claims20
An ultra-broadband wireless system for transmitting and receiving data comprising a network backbone that utilizes the E-band of the radiofrequency spectrum at an altitude of between 5,000 feet and 120,000 feet, the system including at least two aircraft disposed at an altitude of between 5,000 feet and 120,000 feet and a first end user device, the aircraft comprising telecommunications equipment disposed thereon, wherein the telecommunications equipment of each aircraft is enabled to transmit data to and to receive data from each of the other aircraft utilizing the E-band, and the first end user device comprises features enabled to transmit data to and to receive data from each of the aircraft.
A method of providing wireless mobile data services, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining permission from the appropriate regulatory agency to steerably transmit data via E-band at altitude of up to and including the earth's stratosphere, and to transmit lower frequency spectrum data from mobile airborne platforms to either other mobile platforms or to fixed terrestrial devices;
- obtaining permission from the appropriate regulatory agency to utilize bandwidth in the range of 0.1 GHz to 10 GHz frequencies;
- providing telecommunications equipment including airborne network communications equipment capable of transmitting and receiving data via E band;
- disposing the equipment on a plurality of aircraft;
- disposing compatible equipment on end user devices;
- and
- charging a fee for use of the services.
A method of development of an ultra broadband wireless system for transmitting and receiving data, the system enabling full duplex communication of up to 12.9 GHz bandwidth link radius of 10-500 miles at altitude of 15,000 feet or more, wherein the method comprises:
- licensing proprietary systems and methods related to the ultra broadband wireless system;
- and obtaining permission from the appropriate regulatory agency to steerably transmit data via E-band at altitude of up to and including the earth's stratosphere, and to transmit lower frequency spectrum data from mobile airborne platforms to either other mobile platforms or to fixed terrestrial devices.
