This is a relatively new term brought forth in broadband technology. Its specific goal is to provide wireless broadband internet access to users through use of airborne crafts. It’s much like the satellite connections where the signal bounces off a dish and is brought back to your computer, but unlike satellite the airborne broadband wouldn’t have the problems of a delay in the transmission or having bad weather interrupt the signals. This type of connection is still pretty much in the testing stages but is planned to be available soon. Some companies are already offering it, but only in very limited areas.
