The AALTO Zephyr, the most persistent fixed-wing High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) on the planet, is leading the world into a stratospheric future. A new age for connectivity and Earth observation applications.

An age of low-latency, direct-to-device connectivity, capable of helping us to bridge the digital divide hampering mobile connectivity access for almost 3 billion people worldwide.

An age of enhanced and persistent Earth observation with a 18cm ground sampling distance quality, near-real-time video and imagery from the stratosphere — day and night.

An age in which connecting on the ground, in the air, or at sea is a given, and access to the internet is unhindered by challenging terrain or lack of ground infrastructure.

An age of versatile new solutions for governments to address old challenges in fresh, pioneering ways.

An age where all of this can be done with emissionless flight, demonstrating the utmost respect for the future and health of the planet and our future generations.

Flexible, scalable, and adaptable. With AALTO and Zephyr-enabled services, the future is stratospheric.

AALTO is pioneering a new era in telecommunications from the stratosphere. AALTO's connectivity solutions provide numerous technological and economic benefits compared to traditional terrestrial and satellite solutions.

With a coverage area of an approximate 7,500 square kilometres, equivalent of up to 250 ground-based towers, Zephyr serves as a tower in the sky, capable of seamless integration into the networks of mobile operators. This makes it an ideal solution for extending coverage in sparsely populated or challenging terrains.

For the first time, Mobile Network Operators and other entities seeking connectivity can broaden their network's reach to include rural and isolated regions, enhancing service quality, growing their customer base, and minimizing turnover, all while maintaining profitability.

The flexibility, scalability, and adaptability of Zephyr allow government customers to access custom solutions that equip agencies with innovative Earth observation and connectivity capabilities.

Zephyr's stratospheric capabilities, whether for dedicated connectivity, Earth observation services, or a combination of both across multiple aircraft, are ideal for wildfire prevention and mitigation, monitoring and safeguarding vulnerable natural areas, disaster relief efforts, border surveillance, maritime monitoring, amongst many other applications. These capabilities ensure reliable, secure communications and persistent operational oversight.
