GOOGLE™ PROJECT LOON

This paper describes an overview of a Balloon-powered Internet for everyone. Currently we are using the internet service through Internet Service Providers to connect globally. Loon purpose is to provide wireless network to remote areas through of a set of high altitude balloon equipped with advanced sophisticated wireless transceivers to connect people globally. This technology could allow developing countries to avoid the using of expensive underground infrastructure. What is Project Loon? In the evolution of the Internet nowadays, some population of the world enjoys the benefits of the Internet. According to Google™, two-thirds of people on the earth, reliable Internet connection is still out of reach. To solve this global problem, Google™ developed an innovative project called the “LOON”, to provide broadband for free in rural and remote areas, as well as to improve communication during and after natural disasters or a humanitarian crisis. During a crisis, connectivity is really significant because information in itself is really lifesaving. Here the key concept is a set of high-altitude balloons ascends to the stratosphere and creates an aerial wireless network (see Fig. 1). The technology designed in the project could allow countries to avoid using expensive underground infrastructure. [1][2]
