StratoComm Supports U.S. Stratospheric Regulatory Efforts

ALBANY, N.Y. and EATONTOWN, N.J., May 8  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- StratoComm Corporation (STCO) has long supported ongoing regulatory efforts directed to assuring availability of telecommunications frequency spectrum required for use in the operation of High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS).

Dr. Y. C. Lee, StratoComm's Chief Technology Officer, and Mr. Roy LaRosa, Senior Wireless Network Architect for StratoComm have teamed with numerous international participants in support of frequency allocation for HAPS.  Mr. LaRosa travels to Geneva this month to support the U.S. delegation attending working group meetings of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). The ITU is the arm of the United Nations that regulates the global use of frequency spectrum. Dr. Lee and Mr. LaRosa are providing both analyses and support to this critically important effort to ensure that StratoComm's stratospheric altitude lighter than air platforms can co-hebetate with other wireless systems in a global marketplace.

This current effort is preparatory to StratoComm's participation in the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) to be held in 2011. Revisions to the ITU's International Radio Regulations will be formally considered at that time in order to provide frequency spectrum needed for the operation of High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) such as StratoComm's Stratospheric Telecommunications System.

The U.S. delegation and StratoComm have been supporting these issues since the last WRC held in 2007.  StratoComm is providing the ITU technical and operational characteristics based on a StratoComm stratospheric airship payload conceptual design in conjunction with the U.S. preparatory effort lead by U.S. Department of Commerce/NTIA. HAPS ITU spectrum sharing studies are underway in the U.S. and StratoComm is a member of the U.S. delegation to the upcoming May meeting in Geneva intended to develop an interference analysis model that will be used for these studies.

StratoComm Corporation is a developer and provider of telecommunications infrastructure technologies with a specific focus to the delivery of ubiquitous and cost sensitive communication services to the developing world. The company is further committed to the allocation of a portion of each system's service capacity for the provision of low cost/no cost social and economic outreach programs.
