GlobeTel Communications Corp. has introduced a new genre of air craft dubbed Stratellite, by Sanswire, its wholly owned subsidiary. It is not a balloon or a blimp. It is a high-altitude airship designed to provide a stationary platform situated in the stratosphere, from which it will be able to transmit wireless communications services presently transmitted from cell towers and satellites.The craft is powered by solar powered electrical engines. The outer envelope is covered in film photovoltaic units. Posted by: too true 2005-04-18 |
