Abstract

A communications base station is mounted on an aircraft (100) such as a drone or a tethered balloon to provide wireless coverage over a remote area. The use of an airborne device allows a much wider coverage area to be served by one base station. The aircraft is launched (1) only when activity is detected on the ground in the area of coverage (20), and returns to a ground station (3) when such activity ceases. Activity may be detected for example by sensors (16, 17) on a highway identifying vehicles approaching the coverage area. In an alternative arrangement, launch may be triggered by a handover signal received from a cellular base station (13) operating in a region neighbouring the coverage area, or by detection by the network (19) of an incoming call to a mobile terminal previously recorded as being in the area of coverage.
