INTRODUCTION• Project Loon is a research and development project being developed

by Google with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. • A balloon is a flexible bag filled with air or gas.• The balloon is also considerably used to gather weather information

such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed.• It allows people to communicate with others as well.

• The basic Ideas behind this project was that they will fly up multiple

High-altitude balloons, that will go above the clouds without human,

that is around 20 kilometers above the ground level in Stratosphere.

HISTORY Of Internet• It all began with the development of electronic computers in the 1950’s.• The origins of the internet date back to the 1960 s when research was ′

commissioned by the US government.• ARPANET was funded by the US military after the Cold War with the

intention of having a military command and control center that could withstand nuclear attacks.

Robert E. “Bob” Kahn is an American Internet pioneer, engineer, & computer scientist, who along with Vincent Cerf invented the Transmission Control Protocol and the Internet Protocol which are the heart of the Internet.

The internet has had an enormous impact on education , streamlining access to information and making it easier for Individuals to engage in online learning. The internet has also made access to information and communication far easier. Rather than searching library, user scan access vast amounts of information for home computers. Internet access has a huge impact of businesses Allowing employees to work remotely form home and communicate more efficiently. Healthcare is another field greatly affected by The advent of the Internet. Improvements in online connectivity and communication technology allow physicians much grater access to medical resources Doctors in rural areas can also use the Internet to communicate with experts all over the world, improving the quality of patients Diagnoses and treatments.

LOON Technology• The balloon measures 15 meter wide and 12 meters tall when fully

inflated with helium or hydrogen,

• It is made up of thin and very light polythene plastic

• It is strong enough to lift the flight computer and other electronics whose

weight is 10 kg.

• The balloon is powered by a array of solar panel.

• The balloons are maneuvered by adjusting their altitude to float to wind layer

after identifying the wind layer with the desired speed and direction

USER CONNECTIVITY• Users of the service can connect to the balloon network using a special

Internet antenna designed and developed by Google which is attached to their building.

• The signal travels through balloon network.• After balloon to balloon jumping it will finally reached to the ground based station connected to an ISP then it will be global.

Each balloon can provide connectivity to a ground area about 40 km in diameter uses wireless communications technology called LTE(Long Term Evolution). To use LTE, Project Loon partners with telecommunications companies to share cellular spectrum so that people will be able to access the Internet everywhere directly from their phones and other LTE-enabled devices.

What about SpeedGoogle claims that the loon can deliver speed of 2.0MBps to 7.5MBps

Where Loon has been goingGoogle began a pilot test on 16 June 2013, when thirty balloons were launched from New Zealand’s South Island and beamed Internet to a small group of pilot testers

About 50 local users in and around Christchurch and the Canterbury Region tested connections to the aerial network using special antennas.

The Nimmo family was the first to connect to balloon-powered Internet who are farmer by profession.

• It can improve communication during any disaster to affected regions

• It will be available at all places, even in Sahara Desert

• It can improve Internet usage in developing countries in region such as Africa

and Southeast Asia that can’t afford underground fiber cable for providing

internet connectivity.

• It is fast, efficient and more reliable than wired broadband connection

Advantages• Lower Cost• Availability of Information• Education• Health and Medicine• Use of Renewable Energy• Weather Surveillance• Collaboration

Disadvantages• Hardware Failure • internet privacy • Not a replacement of satellite communication.• International politics

FUTURE SCOPE• MDIF plans to formally request NASA to use the International Space

Station to test their technology in September 2014. • Manufacturing and launching of satellites would begin in early 2015,

and Outer net is planned to begin broadcasting in June 2015. • Indian company Specify Inc. is the first private non-profit company

which is working with outernet to provide global free Wi-Fi access
