ALBANY, N.Y. and EATONTOWN, N.J., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
StratoComm Corporation (STCO) has long supported ongoing regulatory
efforts directed to assuring availability of telecommunications
frequency spectrum required for use in the operation of High
Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS). (Logo:

Lee, StratoComm's Chief Technology Officer, and Mr. Roy LaRosa,
Senior Wireless Network Architect for StratoComm have teamed with
numerous international participants in support of frequency
allocation for HAPS. Mr. LaRosa travels to Geneva this month to
support the U.S. delegation attending working group meetings of the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU). The ITU is the arm of
the United Nations that regulates the global use of frequency
spectrum. Dr. Lee and Mr. LaRosa are providing both analyses and
support to this critically important effort to ensure that
StratoComm's stratospheric altitude lighter than air platforms can
co-hebetate with other wireless systems in a global marketplace.
This current effort is preparatory to StratoComm's participation in
the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) to be held in
2011. Revisions to the ITU's International Radio Regulations will
be formally considered at that time in order to provide frequency
spectrum needed for the operation of High Altitude Platform
Stations (HAPS) such as StratoComm's Stratospheric
Telecommunications System. The U.S. delegation and StratoComm have
been supporting these issues since the last WRC held in 2007.
StratoComm is providing the ITU technical and operational
characteristics based on a StratoComm stratospheric airship payload
conceptual design in conjunction with the U.S. preparatory effort
lead by U.S. Department of Commerce/NTIA. HAPS ITU spectrum sharing
studies are underway in the U.S. and StratoComm is a member of the
U.S. delegation to the upcoming May meeting in Geneva intended to
develop an interference analysis model that will be used for these
studies. StratoComm Corporation is a developer and provider of
telecommunications infrastructure technologies with a specific
focus to the delivery of ubiquitous and cost sensitive
communication services to the developing world. The company is
further committed to the allocation of a portion of each system's
service capacity for the provision of low cost/no cost social and
economic outreach programs. Safe Harbor Disclosure - This Press
