UK-based Internet outfit is taking legal action against a subsidiary of Airbus.
Avealto has issued a cease and desist letter against Airbus HAPS Connectivity about its infringement of Avealto’s trademarked name.
Both ‘Avealto’ and rebranded Airbus subsidiary, ‘Aalto’, are developing High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) to offer cheaper, more reliable alternatives to point-to-point satellite services. Avealto is developing an environmentally friendly fleet of next generation 100-metre-long helium airships to ‘connect the unconnected’. These will provide internet access to some of the world’s poorest communities. Aalto, meanwhile, is pursuing its “Zephyr” high altitude flying wing design.
