CAPANINA – Communications from Aerial Platform Networks Delivering Broadband Information for All

An overview of CAPANINA, a project funded by the European Commission’s 6th Framework Programme is presented. The project is developing communications technologies for use with aerial platforms with the aim of delivering communications to users in hard to reach users and those disadvantaged by geography. The paper discusses the three broad areas of the project. Specific aspects covered include: HAP broadband business models and applications selection; the associated trials along with the required wireless and free space optical equipment. Longer-term research underway into delivering broadband backhaul to high-speed trains from aerial platforms, enabling integration with on board WLAN access points is also discussed.
