8 Amazing Products Google Is Currently Working On


#4 Google is on a project to blanket the world in wireless Internet

The latest way to cover the world in wireless internet is by the way of supped-up hot-air balloons. The internet hot balloons are being developed by Google under the project name ‘Loon', which carry internet signal antennas float in the stratosphere, at a height twice as high as air planes. They are carried around the earth by winds and can be steered by raising or lowering them to a particular altitude, with winds moving in the desired direction.

Customers may connect to Google's balloon network using a special internet antenna attached to their building. The signal bounces from balloon to balloon, onto the internet and back to the earth.

A 'Project Loon' pilot project began on June 15 at the 40th parallel South, which is a circle of latitude, that is 40 degrees south of the earth's equatorial plane, when 30 balloons launched from New Zealand's South Island beamed internet signals to a small group of pilot testers.
