Stratospheric Platforms - Building a hydrogen powered flying 5G cell tower

We all know that the reality is that we don’t have 95% coverage using our mobile devices, and that ubiquitous coverage simply doesn’t exist. Not to mention half of the population of the world that has zero access. Stratospheric Platforms is intending to solve both issues by replacing a typical infrastructure build.

They are working on a “flying 5G cell tower” - an unmanned aerial vehicle powered by hydrogen that can stay airborne for 6 days at a time.

Stratospheric Platforms are solving the design and manufacturing of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the operation of a “UAV airline”, scheduling software to ensure continuous 24/7 geographic coverage, and integration of the 5G radio to ensure seamless user experience for mobile phone users.
