How to distribute the Internet connection in areas that do not have adequate infrastructure? One solution is to use a balloon fitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter.
That's what Google is reportedly about to be done to connect the regions of Africa and Southeast Asia to the Internet network.
As reported by Cnet, hot air balloon serves as a platform floating in height so that the signal emitted by Wi-Fi can cover an area of hundreds of square kilometers.
Google reportedly will lobby regulators in developing countries that became operational area in order to allow the hot air balloon television frequencies used for Wi-Fi signals.
TV signal frequency is lower than the standard Wi-Fi and because it has a penetrating power and range of buildings higher than the frequency of Wi-Fi signals in general.
In this way, Google hopes to add about 1 billion new Internet users.
To support his efforts, Google has also made a cheap Android smartphone ecosystem is power saving. The internet giant is reportedly plunged last week to the mobile business in Africa and Asia.
Google itself seems indeed been working on the concept of an Internet connection with a hot air balloon for some time.
Patent matter air balloon that is used as the communication platform has been proposed Google since 2000.
In addition to balloons, Google is also reportedly planning to set up a satellite-based wireless internet system to achieve the same goal.
