What a remarkable career for airships since the Hindenburg Disaster in 1937.
"Starting next year, Tokyo’s SoftBank Corp. will be beaming a prototype 4G and 5G phone and broadband service from the stratosphere to Japanese end users. Floating 20 kilometers above the Earth, the company’s airship-based mast will be using energy-regeneration tech and newly allocated spectrum. And the tech could ultimately pose a real, competitive threat to satellite-based platforms like Starlink. ..."
High-altitude 5G cellphone towers will be prototyped in Japan next year—delivered in part by the Moriarty, N.M.–based Sceye, which developed the airship platform.
