Hey guys, I’m not sure if you are ready for this but Google doesn’t care as they are not giving up on their title as Internet giants. In no much time from now Google will be unveiling 5G wireless Internet connection. The 5G which has capacity to transfer gigabytes of data within seconds will replace the current 4G LTE when finally unveiled by Google.
A new report by The Guardian reveals that the search giant is testing solar-powered drones at Spaceport America. Google is renting a 15,000 square feet hangar space from Virgin Galactic.
Reportedly, as per some documents obtained under public record laws, the secretive project is called SkyBender and the company is said to have built several prototype transreceivers last summer. It is now said to be testing multiple drones. Google is also said to have installed its own dedicated flight control centre near Spaceflight Operations Center that is separate from the terminal.
So, Project SkyBender is reportedly using drones to experiment with millimetre-wave radio transmissions. It is a technology used to ‘underpin next generation 5G wireless internet access’. These high frequency millimetre waves can theoretically transmit Gigabit of data every second. It is said to be up to 40 times more than 4G LTE systems.
This is going to be awesome so let’s keep our fingers crossed.
5G wireless network will be a great breakthrough for the telecommunications fields in the world. I hope that it grows large after the necessary fixes are made to ensure efficiency in data transmission.
Oscar, I just wanted to know how this new technology can benefit those of us in sub-Saharan Africa. You did not explain that.
