Flying Node Network Marks First Flight Test
Airborne Wireless Network seeks to create a "digital superhighway in the sky."

Airborne Wireless Network recently achieved the first flight test of its high-speed broadband airborne connectivity network, using a temporary mobile mast system to emulate a ground station and two Boeing 767s carrying airborne equipment. The plan for the network is to put aircraft to work as airborne repeaters or routers, eventually creating a flying network or, as the company calls it, “a digital superhighway in the sky.”
