Abstract: High Altitude Platforms (HAPs), physically positioned in the lower stratosphere at altitudes around 20 km, have recently been shown to have the potential to deliver a range of communications services. These include multimedia applications requiring broadband access to the network and make HAP based wireless access systems a potential supplement to terrestrial and satellite systems.

In this lecture, HAP-based systems are analysed with respect to terrestrial and satellite broadband wireless access systems. The most interesting services and applications are briefly introduced, followed by a discussion of the ITU-R spectrum allocation for HAP based systems. The main focus is on the alternative HAP system and network architectures, ranging from stand-alone platforms to multiple platform configurations which may include wireless and free space optical links. Operating scenario requirements and restrictions imposed by the type of the platform are also taken into account.
