Google launched this project with the intention to provide
internet access to rural areas. This Helium based balloon can operate up to 100
days at its altitude which is about 20km above the earth surface. Balloon will
not affect passenger airplane operations as the air planes fly above 10km to
the surface and will not be harmful to the wildlife. Balloons capable of
providing LTE signals to ground area about 80km of diameter connecting mobile
phones and other devices to the global internet using high-speed links.
Google launched there project on 2013 as a test pilot
project in New Zealand, where a small group of experts carried out an
experimental project to improve the technology for the next stages.
“Balloon-powered internet for everyone” it’s called. For
sure Google must have thought about the public safety not only flying passenger
planes and wild life but the people below also.
It’s nice to see world corporate giants like Google, thinking
about giving the internet access to people on rural areas around the world.
What if all of them can get together and end or reduce the world starvation death
rates too.
