World Mobile and Indonesian company Protelindo have created a unique stratospheric connectivity platform based on the latest aviation and telecommunications technologies.
Overview of World Mobile Stratospheric Platform
World Mobile, known for its innovations in telecommunications, and Protelindo, Indonesia's largest digital infrastructure operator, announced the launch of the World Mobile Stratospheric platform. This initiative is based on the use of a hydrogen-powered fixed-wing aircraft flying at altitudes of up to 20,000 meters.
Technology and Benefits
The platform will utilize advanced radio technology capable of supporting up to 500,000 simultaneous connections. It promises lower costs, improved bandwidth, minimal latency, and a 99% reduction in environmental impact. This unique unmanned aircraft will also provide a wide range of capabilities beyond telecommunications.
Statements from Company Executives
Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile, stated, "This partnership shows how blockchain can unlock new models for global connectivity. At its core is WMTx, which powers our sharing economy." Protelindo has also expressed confidence that the success of World Mobile Stratospheric will greatly benefit Indonesia.
The issue of fragmented connectivity in countries like the United States underscores the need for new solutions, and the World Mobile Stratospheric platform could be an important step toward improvement.
