Into Google yesterday officially announced “Project Loon”, his plan to connect the whole world to the Internet using a technology much of the 19th century: the balloons.
Into According to a post on the company’s official blog:
Into “We believe that it could actually be possible to build a ring of balloons, which can fly around the world on the stratospheric winds, providing access to the Internet to those who are in the lower part. We’re just all ‘beginning, but we have built a system that uses balloons carried by the wind at altitudes more than twice as high as those that reach commercial aircraft, failing to provide Internet access to the ground at speeds similar to today’s 3G networks or faster in the future. “
Into Google says it hopes that the mobile network can be used to connect rural areas and poorly accessible today. The name itself means ‘crazy’ as ‘crazy’ but altrettando this project is brilliant.
Into addition to providing access to two out of three people on earth who do not have access to broadband at affordable prices, another goal of the Google team behind the project Loon is to help maintain communications as a result natural disasters (earthquake, tsunami, etc.)..aerostatic balloons able to operate by utilizing the solar energy are remote controlled and able to navigate to 20 kilometers above the earth’s surface, well above the proportion in which the majority of commercial airplanes traveling. The balloons work more or less in the way the Internet works via satellite, communicating with special antennas and transmitting data to ground receiving stations.
Into One of the most obvious obstacles of the project Loon, apparently, is to use high-altitude balloons riding the winds of the upper atmosphere, which will make the fact of the balloons on the move. Google knows this and has said that it intends to solve the problem by putting the balls where they are needed when they are needed using “some complex algorithms and a lot of computing power.”. Into The first test of Loon Project is underway with a pilot program in New Zealand. Google says it is currently looking for partners for the next phase of the proj ect and envisions a future in which the roaming service in rural areas not presently covered by internet may actually be covered “by drawing data from a balloon.” You can have a detailed explanation of how Project Loon works in the video below:
