Google planning for fast internet service to whole world using balloons
Now-a-days Google becoming
very stronger through its challenging and innovative new projects like Google
Glass and Self Driving Car. Now it’s going to add a cool new one into its Google[x]. Google really proving its uniqueness by another
exclusive project called “Project Loon”.
Google
planning to increase the internet speed to entire world. It’s going to deliver
a fast internet service using “balloons”. Nothing is impossible for Google,
they trying to achieve something more than before. Its Balloon technique is quite
very interesting, Google assured of proving fast internet service in rural
areas too. With the help of Google’s “Project Loon”, you can able to access
internet even in forest or underserved area.
The
Project Lead Mr. Mike Cassidy writes in Google blog about the Project Loon “There
are many terrestrial challenges to Internet connectivity - jungles,
archipelagos, mountains. There are also major cost challenges. Right now, for
example, in most of the countries in the southern hemisphere, the cost of an
Internet connection is more than a month’s income.”
Google created a system for launching
this project using complex algorithms and computing power. Using this system, the
balloons will fly higher than aeroplanes and will fly like a ring around the
earth in latitude.
Mike
Cassidy also writes “Balloons, with all their effortless elegance, present some
challenges. Many projects have looked at high-altitude platforms to provide
Internet access to fixed areas on the ground, but trying to stay in one place
like this requires a system with major cost and complexity. So the idea we
pursued was based on freeing the balloons and letting them sail freely on the
winds. All we had to do was figure out how to control their path through the
sky. We’ve now found a way to do that, using just wind and solar power: we can
move the balloons up or down to catch the winds we want them to travel in. That
solution then led us to a new problem: how to manage a fleet of balloons
sailing around the world so that each balloon is in the area you want it right
when you need it.”
Google already starts to
execute its plan in New Zealand by rolling out 30 balloons with the help of 50
users. It may looks crazy, but Google will definitely make it possible.
