Project Loon - Google gonna launch internet service in Kenya via Balloons...... Balloons????

                                   Scientists claimed smartphone in the hands of current generation kid is more powerful than the satellites launched in 1970s by Soviet Union. More than laptop, tab or computers people like to use smartphones because of its size, easily accessible features and Internet. Almost each and every thing in the world needs internet now. People using internet in their daily life from Banking services to buying vegetables. Telecom networks used to establish network towers inside cities, towns and villages for providing internet service to customers. But its difficult to establish towers in some areas like hard terrains and hills. Kenya is the country with lot of hard terrain and valleys.

                                   Statistics say only 28% people are using internet in Africa just because of its vast wildlife vegetation and remote areas. It clearly says that there is a big market for telecom industry in Africa. Google focused this and announced its launch of internet services along with Kenya Government. As we said Kenya landscape became a challenge for constructing Network Towers, Google decided to deal with their existing Balloon Internet Technology named "Project Loon".

So What is Project Loon or "The Loon Project"??? 

                                 We have already seen many hot air balloons. But these Balloons are made up of Poly Ethylene and filled with low density gases like Helium and Hydrogen. They will stop those Balloons at Stratosphere region which is nearly 20 kilometres above from earth's surface. Since the speed of wind is minimum at Stratosphere, Balloons can stand in its position with less disturbance. Lot of small boxes are there inside contains required component to provide internet service. Solar panels inside the balloons will save energy and supply required power for communicating neighbor balloons as well as provide internet signals to the receiver in land. 

                                One more advantage of these balloons, it can be launched anywhere from the world and can able to stop exactly above destination with the help of air movement. In this project too Google gonna launch it from America and will place at stratosphere region above Kenya.

                                 Because of these Loons people of Kenya can able to access 4G LTE Internet service. Google and Kenya government targeted to provide this service around 50000 square Kilometers area of mountain and valleys. 

                                 The only reason for Google pushing this service is the usage of internet is more among people in this pandemic situation created by COVID-19. Somehow people of Kenya going to use internet services because of a deadly virus.
