An investigation into the capacity enhancements achievable from deploying multiple high altitude platforms (HAP) using common frequency bands and serving the same coverage area is performed. It is shown that it will be possible to increase capacity (through improved spectrum utilisation) commensurate with the number of extra platforms deployed, providing fixed users employ a sufficiently directive antenna, pointing to HAP located in different points in the sky. Such deployments will allow services to be offered to a significantly increased user population density. (5 pages)
