Overview
Overview
Loon Network
Loon is an experimental technology aimed at providing wireless internet access to remote and underserved areas by using high-altitude balloons. These balloons create an aerial wireless network, extending internet connectivity to rural regions and filling coverage gaps.
Functionality
Key Components
- Balloons: Loon uses a network of stratospheric balloons to provide internet coverage, maneuvered by adjusting altitude to float at wind layers, ensuring stable connectivity.
- Antennas: Users connect to the balloon network using special internet antennas attached to their buildings. Signals travel through the balloon network from balloon to balloon, then to a ground station connected to a local internet service provider (ISP).
- Mesh Network: Balloons are connected in a mesh topology to ensure reliability. Signals hop between balloons before reaching a ground station.
- Data transfer: ISP responses travel back through the balloon network to the subscriber's balloon, then to the subscriber's device.
Impact
Coverage and Speed
- Reach: Loon aims to provide affordable and reliable internet to rural and remote areas, potentially reaching billions of unconnected people.
- Speed: Each balloon can deliver 3G comparable speeds, with coverage areas of about 40 km in diameter.
Technical Details
Balloon Design
- Altitude: Balloons operate in the stratosphere (18 km to 25 km altitude) with advanced sensors and pyranometers monitoring environmental conditions.
- Navigation: Wind data guides navigation. Balloons can last for hundreds of days in harsh stratospheric conditions.
Development
Testing and Rollout
- Early Tests: Prototypes were tested in California and New Zealand in 2013, demonstrating Loon's promise to provide connectivity from the stratosphere.
- Partnerships: Loon partnered with various organizations, including the HAPS Alliance, to advance stratospheric ballooning technology.
Legacy
Loon's work has contributed to the development of similar telecommunications infrastructure in Africa, particularly with Project Taara, which continues to provide reliable high-speed internet to unconnected and under-connected areas.
