 Communications Payload Pod is mounted to a pylon under the
fuselage. 0.8 tonne weight communications pod

Each cell covers a small geographic area, e.g., 4 to 8 square miles.

 The wide and narrow beamwidths within each beam or cell are achieved
by using MMW frequencies.

 Small aperture antennas can be used to achieve small cells.

 An ATM-like packet switch provides the network switching capability to

cross-connect all users within the coverage area as well as connections to
other users through gateways.

 The elements are MMW transceivers, pilot tone transmitter, high-speed

modems, SONET multiplexers, packet switch hardware and software
It is relatively simple.

It comprising a Radio Frequency Unit and a

Network Interface Unit.

The Radio Frequency Unit contains the steerable dish

antenna, a millimetric band transmitter , a
millimetric band receiver, and the antenna steering
mechanism.

It contains the modulators and demodulators for the signal.

The feed to and from the Radio Frequency Unit is done in the
1.4 GHz band, with up/down conversion performed in the Radio
Frequency Unit.

and designed to have an "efficient high-
altitude loiter"

 Aircrafts pow er s ys tem consist of S olar

P hotovoltaic cell with a regenerative fuel cell.

 A dva nta g e of using this is that it eliminates

the need of and compress air at high altitude.

The HALO Aircraft is also

called Proteus Aircraft.
 Halo Networks

 The Proteus is built with composite materials.

 Weight -- 6.4 tonnes

 Engine Type -- Williams FJ44-2E jet engines.

 Seating for two pilots, with an extra seat for a relief pilot or passenger.

 The cabin is pressurised and high altitude pressure suits are not
required.

Ease of Installation

1. The Consumer Premise

Equipment (CPE) ,
whether delivered or
purchased through a
retailer, is designed for
rapid installation and
ease of use.

2. The antenna is self-pointing and is mounted on an

outside area offering a clear view of the HALO™
aircraft.

 Provides data densities nearly one thousand times higher.

 It has high power available to their payload.

 The HALO Network integrated with a satellite network can increase the
throughput, competitiveness, and revenue of a satellite constellation.

 Because of the relatively short distance between the HALO node and
the end user (10 to 35 miles), low-cost, low-power premise equipment can
be used.

The HALO Network can serve hundreds-of-thousands of broadband end

users on a metropolitan distance scale.

 S atellite network have expens ive high power us er
terminal and long propagation delay.
 s ys tem capacity is practically fixed.
 E s tablis hing a provides data densities nearly

one thousand times higher new s atellite is

 Having round trip time delays
 Satellites have limited power

available to their payloads.

 Satellites require costly premise

equipment.
O ver Terrestrial network
 Terrestrial networks have low look angles and
complex infras tructure.
 They require many base stations that must be
interlinked with cables.
 The communication paths have low look angles with
multipath R ayleigh fading.
 E ach time cell splitting is used to increase system
capacity, the network can demand significant
reengineering

To HALO-satellite global network :

The stratospheric HALO aircraft offer three

benefits to an integrated HALO-satellite
global network:

1. As HALO aircraft are high above the

atmosphere, they easily link to
numerous satellites.

2. HALO-to-satellite link use very high

carrier frequencies offering
ultra-wide bandwidths.

2. The HALO be the front-end of an

integrated system.
 Widely separated
customers can receive same
communication as in entertainment
broadcasting.
 We can acces s interactive TV and internet.
 C ustomers can have large coverage area in
telecommunication compared to terrestrial
network.
 C an us e as a communication techniques for
remote areas.
 C an us e in marine communication system.

The HALO Network can provide wireless broadband communications services.

The HALO/Proteus airplane will be the central node of
a broadband communications network, the HALO Network, having a star
topology.
The network will utilize packet switching to offer bit rates to each of
thousands of end user in the multi-megabit per second range. A variety of
spectrum bands licensed for commercial wireless services could
provide the needed MMW-carrier bandwidth. The signal footprint of the
network, the Cone of Commerce, will cover a typical large city and its
surrounding communities.
HALO aircraft will fly above commercial airline traffic. A fleet of aircraft
will be operated in shifts to achieve around-the-clock service.
Finally, the HALO Network will be an evolving
"network solution" that can be deployed one market at a time to ease
the financing commitment of growing a global business.
