#haps — Public Fediverse posts

Satellites, HAPS, and aircraft are quietly becoming something more than relays. They're turning into compute nodes.

The Datacom Industry Association Aerospace #WorkingGroup just released a whitepaper on this shift: "Aerospace-enabled Services — The Edge-Cloud Continuum Beyond the Atmosphere."

HAPS: Гелий, планер и стратосферная базовая станция 6G

Надвигающийся стандарт сотовой связи 6G принесет нам много новинок, которые я уже разбирал подробно. Лично для меня самой внезапной оказалась концепция HAPS. Напомню, что HAPS расшифровывается как High Altitude Platform Station — высотные платформенные станции. Своей сутью это летающие базовые станции, которые могут надолго зависать над определенным районом и обеспечивать его связью. Плюсов от такого подхода прилично. Судите сами. Мы можем оперативно развернуть связь в любой точке земного шара. В горах, на море или там, где произошло стихийное бедствие и наземная инфраструктура связи погребена под руинами. Если сравнивать с космической связью (тем же Старлинком) то HAPS находятся куда ниже низкоорбитальных спутников. Формально в документах Международного союза электросвязи HAPS — это станция на объекте на высоте 20–50 км. На практике большинство сценариев смотрит в сторону стратосферных высот около 20 км: выше погоды и коммерческой авиации, но на порядок ниже спутниковых орбит. Напомню, что типовая LEO-орбита порядка 500 км. А это значит, что мы можем себе позволить меньшие задержки и меньшую мощность передатчика в сотовом телефоне. Получается, одни плюсы. Только вот есть несколько вопросов. А как к HAPS подвести канал связи? А как туда подвести питание? А как создатели 6G вообще себе представляют атмосферный объект, который днями висит на месте и не падает? Что ж, давайте разбираться!

هل تخيلتم يوماً أبراج اتصالات تسبح في السماء؟ تقنية HAPS الثورية تفتح آفاقاً جديدة لإنترنت الـ 5G، حيث تعمل كجسر ذكي يربط بين الأقمار الصناعية والأبراج الأرضية التقليدية. مؤخراً، نجحت منصات شركة Sceye في التحليق لمدة 12 يوماً متواصلة في طبقة الستراتوسفير، مما يبشر بمستقبل رقمي أكثر شمولاً واستقراراً. إليكم التفاصيل حول هذه المناطيد الذكية وكيف ستغير شكل البنية التحتية الرقمية.

Концепция 6G: что ждет нас в шестом поколении сотовой связи?

Поколения сотовой связи меняются приблизительно раз в десять лет. Возможно, в будущем, мы увидим ускорение этого процесса, но пока тайминги более-менее выдерживаются. И если старт внедрения 5G пришелся на 2020-е годы, значит совсем скоро, года через четыре, мы уже можем ждать 6G. Спойлер: можем. В феврале 2026 года был утвержден драфт техтребований к стандарту. Каким он будет? На какие запросы пользователей он ответит? И как он собирается изменить нашу жизнь? Давайте обсудим!

@EugeneMcParland It would be nice to have a #HAPS mesh/relays as a backup system. Even terrestial networks are at risk and will likely be targetted if and when the next big scuffle breaks out.

Interesting for all #Frontex #BorderTech nerds:
Here are the presentations of FX's 1st "Industry Day" about using #HAPS for surveillance.
https://fragdenstaat.de/anfrage/dokumente-der-industry-days-on-haps-2025/

New dimension in border surveillance:
#Frontex wants to send millions in technology into the stratosphere to close a “gap” between aircraft and satellites. Spain is using these #HAPS against migration over the Atlantic. A flight over the Mediterranean starts in summer.

Endelig debuterede jeg som DOMMER til DM i poetry slam. Det var sjovt at sidde på den anden side af tavlen - men virkelig også en svær tjans.
Aftenen markerede også vor skønne vært, Pippaluks, foreløbige punktum i HAPS. Hun fik sig i den anledning en buket blomster.

With landing tonight in a spot located 66 km E of Amarillo, Texas, the SCEYE Stratospheric Airship that departed yesterday from Roswell Air Center in New Mexico completed its longest and probably most successful flight of its entire history.

The total flight time was 17 hours and 20 minutes and the covered distance was 472 km.

Now, we must wait for the official word and details from the Company.

UK stratospheric HAPS project enters the next phase

The UK has selected two companies – Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) and Airbus subsidiary AALTO – to compete in the second phase of Project Aether, a UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) program that seeks an unmanned stratospheric ultra-persistent communication and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability or high altitude platform station (HAPS).

A new term I came across today: #HeatActionPlan. New for me but of course, #India and many other countries have been working on these for years. #HAPs are a good focal point for exploring how the #ClimateCrisis intersects with so much else, including #Infrastructure and #SDGs. As this @mongabay article shows, integrated approaches are crucial yet difficult in practice
