Google is moving forward with its idea to improve internet access in Africa via large balloons that can send Wi-Fi signals to rural areas of the continent.
Just this week Google has started to run tests of if “Project Loon” with balloons in California, although they have already started in some parts of Africa and New Zealand. In their efforts to improve their power systems such as batteries and panel orientation, envelope design, and radio configuration they are running these tests. Google does not have an exact time period as to when they will be done with this project.
