Project Skybender: Google's secretive 5G internet drone tests revealed | Technology | T... - 0 views

  • Google is testing solar-powered drones at Spaceport America in New Mexico to explore ways to deliver high-speed internet from the air
  • Project SkyBender is using drones to experiment with millimetre-wave radio transmissions, one of the technologies that could underpin next generation 5G wireless internet access
  • High frequency millimetre waves can theoretically transmit gigabits of data every second, up to 40 times more than today’s 4G LTE systems. Google ultimately envisages thousands of high altitude “self-flying aircraft” delivering internet access around the world.

  • “The huge advantage of millimetre wave is access to new spectrum because the existing cellphone spectrum is overcrowded. It’s packed and there’s nowhere else to go,” says Jacques Rudell
  • However, millimetre wave transmissions have a much shorter range than mobile phone signals. A broadcast at 28GHz, the frequency Google is testing at Spaceport America, would fade out in around a tenth the distance of a 4G phone signal. To get millimetre wave working from a high-flying drone, Google needs to experiment with focused transmissions from a so-called phased array. “This is very difficult, very complex and burns a lot of power,” Rudell says
  • The SkyBender system is being tested with an “optionally piloted” aircraft called Centaur as well as solar-powered drones made by Google Titan, a division formed when Google acquired New Mexico startup Titan Aerospace in 2014. Titan built high-altitude solar-powered drones with wingspans of up to 50 metres
  • Project SkyBender is part of the little-known Google Access team, which also includes Project Loon, a plan to deliver wireless internet using unpowered balloons floating through the stratosphere.
  • In 2014, Darpa, the research arm of the US military, announced a program called Mobile Hotspots to make a fleet of drones that could provide one gigabit per second communications for troops operating in remote areas.

    Could this be a next gen. technology that would bring hi-speed internet access literally to every place in the world?

Google's Got a Plan to Make the Mobile Web Less Slow | WIRED - 0 views

  • it’s clear that in the future, tech companies—not publishers—will be the chief distributors of the news we consume.
  • Google’s AMP
  • is a continuation of that trend
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • AMP aims to ensure that web content loads just as instantly, and looks just as sleek as it would in a native app.
  • This is about making sure the World Wide Web is not the World Wide Wait
  • The hope, among publishers, is that faster, cleaner content on the web will drive engagement. Attention spans on the web are short, after all, and there are plenty of other articles to read.
  • Google is opening this format to all publishers
  • It will also be interesting to see how Facebook responds to the news
  • While Facebook is onboarding publishers one by one
  • But now, more than ever, these platforms are not only determining what news matters to us, they’re determining the best way to present and publish it, as well

  • UK government invests £60 million in Skylon 'super-plane' that could cut London to Sydney flights to just four hours
  • Its 'Sabre' engine - a hybrid rocket and jet propulsion system which theoretically allows travel anywhere on Earth in four hours or less - could become a reality in a decade.
  • A full ground-based engine test is currently planned for 2020.

  • The super-plane will rely on cooling an incoming airstream from 1,000 degrees C to minus 150 C almost instantly, at close to 1/100th of a second.
