Google briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about Project Loon during his visit to the Google headquarters in the Silicon Valley on 27th September 2015. In this context, consider the following statements:
Which is/are correct?
- Project Loon started its experimental pilot project in New Zealand in 2013.
- Loon uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 32 km to produce an aerial wireless network.
Which is/are correct?
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Project Loon began with a pilot test in June 2013, when thirty balloons were launched from New Zealand’s South Island and beamed Internet to a small group of pilot testers. The pilot test has since expanded to include a greater number of people over a wider area.
Looking ahead, Project Loon will continue to expand the pilot, with the goal of establishing a ring of uninterrupted connectivity at latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, so that pilot testers in these latitudes can receive continuous service via balloon-powered Internet.
