Get Ready "BALLOON-POWERED INTERNET FOR EVERYONE"

Google's "PROJECT LOOON"

Hello there,

   First of all, a  heart full of congratulation to all Indians and the man who made it as Google's CEO, Mr. SUNDAR PICHAI. 

   43 year old Sundar pichai takes over as the CEO of Google, who as an Indian, graduated from IIT kharagpur, he will take care of googles many services such as search, ads, youtube, chrome and the most famous ANDROID.

   As their are many possibilities for tech innovation at google, google is constantly investing in new project ideas and implementing them to real life.So, today we are talking Googles most innovative project, "PROJECT LOON"

What is Project LOON?

Google's Internet in the sky   

 Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by Google X with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas.

   Project Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, twice as high as airplanes and the weather. In the stratosphere, there are many layers of wind, and each layer of wind varies in direction and speed. Loon balloons go where they’re needed by rising or descending into a layer of wind blowing in the desired direction of travel. 

   By partnering with Telecommunications companies to share cellular spectrum they’ve enabled people to connect to the balloon network directly from their phones and other LTE-enabled devices. The signal is then passed across the balloon network and back down to the global Internet on Earth.

   Project Loon began in June 2013 with an experimental pilot in New Zealand, where a small group of Project Loon pioneers tested Loon technology. The results of the pilot test, as well as subsequent tests in New Zealand, California’s Central Valley and in Northeast Brazil, are being used to improve the technology in preparation for the next stages of the project.

   Earlier this year, Google 2015 I/O, annual developer conference, google unveils discussing one of its most ambitious initiatives: Project Loon, Google's effort to beam broadband Internet access down to remote or rural regions.

   If it can overcome the remaining challenges, the service will get started more widely by the end of 2016 and is looking at unreached Internet markets such as Latin America, Africa,  and India as the best places to start.
