Internet Balloons
Internet balloons are large, high-altitude balloons equipped with communication equipment that can provide internet connectivity from the stratosphere. They float in the upper atmosphere, above weather and air traffic, forming a sort of floating wireless network. By deploying these balloons in strategic locations, companies can extend internet coverage to remote or underserved areas where traditional infrastructure is challenging or costly to install. They use radio signals to connect users’ devices to the internet, creating a temporary or semi-permanent coverage area. This innovative approach aims to bridge the digital divide and improve internet access worldwide.
