Google’s Project SkyBender To Use Solar-Powered Drones To Beam 5G Wireless Internet
Google's new Project SkyBender is developing solar-powered drones to beam Internet connectivity from the sky, following its Project Loon that uses high-altitude balloons to deliver web access to rural and remote areas. The search giant is reportedly testing millimeter wave Internet at Spaceport America in New Mexico. This new tech can transmit data 40 times faster than the 4G long-term evolution (LTE) wireless standard and could power 5G Internet.
