Global Wi-Fi
Global Wi-Fi, have you ever
wondered about that? Have you ever wondered how it would be if you had Internet
everywhere? Today we will talk about Global Wi-Fi, and how it will change the
world.
Global
Wi-Fi could change the world for many reasons.
1.Like if some people can’t afford Wi-Fi, then they will
always have it.
2.And if people don’t have Internet in the mountains, they
will!
3.This will also help with kids who can’t go to school; they
could just take online classes everywhere.
4.Also, people who don’t have access to doctors, then they
can online chat with the doctor to help.
5. Farmers will be able to look at future forecasts and then
their plants will be safe and grow better.
Lots of
companies have been working on this, and big one is too, Google. Google is
calling this project “Loon”. Here is how they say it works, “Project
Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, twice as high as airplanes and the
weather. In the stratosphere, there are many layers of wind, and each layer of
wind varies in direction and speed. Loon balloons go where they’re needed by
rising or descending into a layer of wind blowing in the desired direction of
travel. By partnering with Telecommunications companies to share cellular
spectrum we’ve enabled people to connect to the balloon network directly from
their phones and other LTE-enabled devices. The signal is then passed across
the balloon network and back down to the global Internet on Earth.”
What they really said was that a
balloon called loon will go up in the air and receive signals from the Internet
station like sprint, verison, ect. Then it will make like an Internet in the
sky, and all people can connect to it. But what would you think if that these
balloons get shot up in the sky when they are like 15 meters in diameter get
hit by and airplane or something. This could cause bad things like if an
airplane crashes over Washington DC. Also, these Internet providers not be
wanting to do this, because the global wifi is going to cost way less, and if
they don’t want to do then these won’t work.
Here
is another project that I found called cubesat. “A New York City-based company,
the Media Development Investment Fund, plans to launch hundreds of low-cost
miniature satellites known as “cubesats” into orbit around the Earth to create
the Outernet, a wireless connection to the Web available for free to every
person in the world. If everything goes according to plan, the Outernet could
be here as soon as June 2015. Each cubesat receives data from a network of ground
stations around the world and transmits this information on a loop until new
information is received. This means using the Outernet will be more like
watching a program broadcast on TV, though Outernet users will build a priority
list for the information they want and make suggestions for new content.
