Abstract

A network is provided to enable wireless broadband communication services to provide connectivity between users anywhere on the Earth that are both within and beyond a geographic area by utilizing millimeter and microwave carrier frequencies with wide bandwidths. An atmospheric platform carrying a payload serves as the main node of a star-topology network. The atmospheric platform communicates with other elements of the network such as Earth-bound user equipment, in multiple units, and gateways for providing information paths to remote cities. The network may also be used in accordance with a satellite network and with existing communications infrastructure. Because the atmospheric platform is flying above the earth, the network maintains communications links between the various elements of the network.
