SPL solves the problem of broadband connectivity

Making it affordable and accessible anywhere.

History

Stratospheric Platforms Limited was founded in 2014. Deutsche Telekom became a major investor in 2016 to turn the project into reality – to establish communication links via the stratosphere, complementing and extending existing mobile and fixed terrestrial networks through “masts in the sky”.

Since then the company has grown to a team of highly skilled engineers, project managers and experienced leaders in the aerospace, telecoms and hydrogen industries. SPL has established an international supply-chain of notable, highly respected, innovative companies.

Our pioneering technology will deliver fast, reliable 5G, and will allow roll out to take place far quicker than traditional terrestrial solutions.
