Relay Aircraft Enable Cell Network in the Sky, Aviation Week Reports Cell 'Network in the Sky'
MOJAVE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 2, 1998--A recent flight demonstration over Southern California validated the concept of using high-altitude aircraft as cellular telephone relay nodes.

If ongoing negotiations soon produce a firm contract, Platforms International Corp. (OTC BB:PLFM - news; PIC) of Redlands, Calif., and its partners will deliver the first functional elements of an Airborne Relay Communications System (ARCS) to TELESP of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in September 1999, according to a report in Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine. Initially, two aircraft orbiting high above the city would provide 24-hr. cellular phone service to approximately 200,000 customers. As now planned, up to 1 million subscribers could be handled by an expanded system.
