"A HALO (High Altitude Long Operation) aircraft is an aircraft designed to act as a very high altitude receiving and transmitting tower, circling a metropolitan area and providing broadband telecommunication service at data rates up to 5 Mbps to homes and up to 25 Mbps to business users with dedicated lines.
Angel Technologies plans to launch a HALO-based series of metropolitan area networks ( MAN s). In each city, a single aircraft flying at about 52,000 feet will be able to service home and business users over a 60 mile area. Three aircraft will take turns, each flying an 8-hour shift. Users on the ground will mount a small external antenna outside their home or building."

HALO is also an acronym for "High Altitude Low Oxygen" A HALO parachutist needs an oxygen supply because of the high altitude he jumps from.It's also an acronym for High Altitude Low Orbit which is self explanatory.
