Specifically, the companies have entered into formal negotiations on a number of areas of potential technical and commercial collaboration, including a wholesale business that would allow HAPSMobile to use Loon's fully-functioning vehicle and technology. Likewise, Loon would be able to use HAPSMobile's aircraft, which is currently in development, upon its completion.
HAPSMobile and Loon negotiations also cover a jointly developed communications payload that is adaptable to multiple flight vehicles and various ITU compliant frequency bands; a common gateway or ground station that could be deployed globally and utilized by both Loon and HAPSMobile to provide connectivity over their respective platforms; adapting and optimizing Loon's fleet management system and temporospatial SDN for use by HAPSMobile; creating an alliance to promote the use of high altitude communications solution with regulators and officials worldwide; as well as enabling flight vehicles from each party to connect and share the same network connectivity in the air.
