WiFi everywhere with Google Loon

Until now, defining the Internet as a network bringing people into contact with one another across the world has been more of a slogan than a reality. Although developed countries enjoy a high rate of connectivity in most of their territories, a large part of the southern hemisphere and many rural and isolated areas lack the necessary infrastructure for a network that connects them to the Internet. Until now, that is.

Google Loon: world and global WiFi connection

Google set itself the objective of taking the Internet to all corners of the planet… sustainably and without the need to build physical infrastructure. The corporation launched its pilot project, Google Loon, in June 2013 with helium balloons carrying a WiFi signal to provide Internet access to inhabitants of regions without network coverage.

How does Google Loon work?

The Google Loon balloons fly over the Earth’s surface at an altitude of 20 kilometers (twice that of airplanes). Researchers on the project have now managed to increase the time these balloons can stay in the stratosphere to 100 days.

Through automated software, the balloons can rise and descend to seek out air currents to take them to places they are needed. Their electrical components are powered by solar panels, so the wind and the sun are the only sources of energy for these mobile Internet access points.

For the project to function, Google needs a fleet of balloons constantly circling the globe. This pilot project has already positioned balloons above New Zealand, the USA and Brazil and is currently working to make them more autonomous, while shortening the time it takes to make the equipment and reducing the number of people needed to launch and operate them.

“The Google Loon balloons fly over the Earth’s surface at an altitude of 20 kilometers 🌏”

Who is Google Loon aimed at?

The main aim of the Google project is to offer access to the poorest regions, especially in the southern hemisphere. Potential improvements for economies, education and healthcare are obvious and although the company and its Alphabet research consortium does not expect to earn immediate revenues, it calculates that the creation of new users (estimated at over five million) could bring many indirect benefits to Google.

Google Fi brings Wi-Fi calling & international hotspot to iPhone, expands global 5G for Android

Google Fi is rolling out a trio of updates today that are focused on the MVNO’s international experience when traveling, starting with Wi-Fi calling for iPhone subscribers.

Wi-Fi calling with Google Fi is now coming to the iPhone after years of Google Fi only supporting Android. This is ideal when in large buildings or underground on the subway, as well as internationally. If both Wi-Fi and cellular are available, Google says it will “route your call over whichever one gives you the best connection.” Set-up instructions are available here.

Meanwhile, the iPhone now supports international hotspot tethering if you’re on FI’s Flexible and Unlimited Plus plans. With these two updates and last year’s VPN launch, Fi support for iOS devices is getting better but it still does not offer 5G stateside.

The last update is for Android users. International 5G network coverage with Google Fi is now offered in 26 more countries with the total at 39:

Austria	Germany	Luxembourg	Slovenia
Bahrain	Greece	Malta	Spain
Belgium	Hong Kong	Netherlands	Sweden
Bulgaria	Iceland	New Zealand	Switzerland
Canada	Ireland	Poland	Taiwan
China	Israel	Portugal	Thailand
Croatia	Italy	Qatar	Turkey
Czechia	Japan	Romania	United Arab Emirates
Finland	Korea	Saudi Arabia	United Kingdom
France	Kuwait	Slovakia

It’s also no longer a Pixel exclusive and will work with the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. The Google MVNO added that it will “expand 5G coverage to more countries over time.”
