According to The Asahi Shimbun, Japan’s communications carriers are looking to the “final frontier” to expand their businesses, with an eye toward a stratospheric communication platform and high-speed wireless capability on the moon.
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. (NTT) announced on June 3 that it will send aloft an “airborne base station” on a commercial basis in 2026. KDDI Corp. released plans on building a telecom network that will link Earth and the moon by 2028. NTT President Akira Shimada unveiled the NTT C89 orbital development initiative. One of the key programs under the endeavor is the envisioned installation of a high-altitude platform station (HAPS). An unmanned aircraft mounted with a repeater will be sent into the stratosphere 20 kilometers above the Earth. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15294036
