STRATXX Airship Completes Wide Area Broadcast Tests

Stratxx Holding AG has recently announced that it has launched a new tethered Airship the “X Tower”. The airship is designed to carry telecommunications and broadcast payloads.

The team recently carried out a successful longevity test on its unique X-Tower communications airship platform. It was in the air for a period of 23 days successfully and using only 20 watts of power it broadcasted 12 digital television and two FM radio channels.

At a height of 1000m from ground level, the platform withstood airspeeds exceeding 65 mph.

With this new proven technology Stratxx has demonstrated that it can and will proceed with its next development of the “X Station” a high altitude platform.

Kamal Alavi, Stratxx CEO added, “X Tower is the first airship that has successfully proven that digital TV and radio transmissions can be broadcast from an airship over a large period of time. In addition Statxx has clearly tested and proven that far less power is required to broadcast in this manor than current conventional methods.”

Stratxx has proven that with much less power currently used in conventional fixed antennas, a single X Tower can broadcast to a ground footprint of 100km.

Stratxx is proud to announce that this is the first time a tethered airship has been used successfully in a broadcasting capacity, at altitude.

Stratxx’s next planned flight will be at 5000 meter above sea level.
