Year Future, Sky Will Decorated Air Balloon InternetProviders
As the Internet giant, Google naturally continue to create innovations that benefit everyone. One of Google's innovations in providing access to the internet endlessly is Project Loon. Loon Project is itself a provider of internet connection air balloon flying in the air and going around the earth.
As the Internet giant, Google naturally continue to create innovations that benefit everyone. One of Google's innovations in providing access to the internet endlessly is Project Loon. Loon Project is itself a provider of internet connection air balloon flying in the air and going around the earth.
Because Project Loon has the same movement as the moon, which has an orbit to circle the earth, the pattern of movement will air balloon shaped like a ring. Loon itself will provide internet access relentlessly through the sky to the earth's surface.
This aerial balloon would fly statosfer layer of earth or at an altitude of 20,000 meters above sea level, or 20 kilometers above sea level. To circumnavigate the globe without stopping, at least 300 units are needed in order to continue air balloon around the earth.
Mechanism Project Loon is prepared automatically, later if there is one balloon out of the lane or out of range, then there will be other air balloons that will replace the air balloon.
Loon Project vice president, Mike Cassidy said, Google hopes Loon Project is to be realized in 2016 to circumnavigate the globe and provide internet access to the whole world with the Google-owned air balloon.
Ring or orbit of Loon Project was first going around the southern hemisphere. 300th air balloon is capable of providing internet access to the earth's surface with a diameter of 40 kilometers to the ground
Loon Project itself has undergone a lot of progress, even since the beginning of 2013 developed in the past to the present, Loon Project has increased very significantly. At first, Loon is only able to survive for at least 6 days flying in the air or a maximum of 10 days. Now Loon becomes better able to fly in the air for 187 days.
Not only are enhanced durability, Loon launch mechanism was also improved. If at first hot air balloon requires 14 people to up to 2 hours to fly, now only takes 2 to 3 people only with enough time 15 minutes, because the Loon Project is now using automated crane to fly.
In addition to durability and enhanced launch mechanism, the network connection is also improved air balloon. If air balloon once it is able to provide 3G networks alone, now able to emit Loon Internet connection speeds of up to 10Mbps or 4G cellular equivalent in some developing countries.
