Internet giant Google is working with the government on a pilot
project for providing Internet connectivity by using large balloons.
Google, under its 'Project Loon', is using big balloons floating at a height of 20 kilometers above earth surface for transmission of Internet services.
-It has already tested this technology in New Zealand, California (the US) and Brazil.
- "Google approached government to set up the Loon project and Drone-based Internet transmission."
- Google may initially partner with BSNL for testing this technology by using broadband spectrum in 2.6 Ghz band.
-The technology, used for 4G services, has potential to replace mobile towers as it can directly transmit signals on 4G mobile phones.
-As per Google, each balloon can provide connectivity to a ground area about 40 km in diameter using a wireless communications technology called LTE or 4G.
-To use LTE, Project Loon partners with telecommunications companies to share cellular spectrum so that people will be able to access the Internet everywhere directly from their phones and other LTE-enabled devices.
-Google uses solar panel and wind to power electronic equipment in the balloon throughout the day.
