Google aspires to cover the worldwide Wi-Fi through hot air balloons

Google officially announced the Project Loon project with amazing ideas and is considered crazy: bringing the Internet to all the distant places on the planet with technology dating back to the 19th century.

"We believe that the construction of a series of hot air balloons flying around the earth to provide Internet access for about two-thirds of the world's people is similar to the current 3G network. workable , " Google wrote on the blog.

According to the US search service firm, "floating" Internet in this space will be exploited to reach remote and remote areas. However, the name of the program, Project Loon, also shows that Google understands the project's madness. Loon means "madman", "insane" . One of the firm's other goals is to help maintain communication throughout natural disasters.

Hot air balloons operate on solar energy and can be remotely controlled in the wind at a height of 20km above the earth's surface and connected to antennas and receiving stations on the ground.

An obvious barrier to Project Loon is that the balloon is always on the move, making it difficult for users to catch long waves. Google said it had plans to maintain hot air balloons where needed by using "complex algorithms and computing power".

The first trial is taking place in New Zealand. Google is looking for partners for the next phase of the project to realize people's dream of connecting and sharing data even when they are at the farthest, most inaccessible corners of the world like between the desert, on the top of the mountain, Antarctica .
