Project LOON

LOON is a project by Google for providing internet access to remote areas using LTE (Long Term Evolution / 4G) technology in the floating balloons.

 How it works?

• The balloons are made to float in the stratosphere (20km Height) of the atmosphere where the wind speed is low.
• The Stratosphere consists of different layers in which the speed and the direction of the wind varies.
• So, we can change the position of the balloon just by varying the density and volume of the gases in it.
• It is powered by the solar panels in it.
• Each LOON was designed to provide the internet service to an area of radius of 20 km.
