Planning an experiment so that Google can use the net even on remote islands using "atmospheric satellite"

Google is struggling with the balloon and artificial satellite to enable internet communication in everywhere, from remote areas around the world,Titan Aerospace acquired in April 2014"Ultraviolet space satellite" which has been able to fly for more than 5 years, equipped with solar unmanned aerial system (UAS) "Solara 50"We are planning experiments to provide net lines even in remote areas such as remote islands using unmanned aerial vehicles.

In order to enable Internet access in remote areas, Google has permission to test solar powered droneFederal Communications Commission(FCC) for application. Details of the test can be found in Google's PDF file addressed to FCC.

According to the PDF file, Google's testTitan Aerospace acquired in April 2014It is known to use a photovoltaic unmanned aerial system (UAS) that can stay at high altitude for a long time. Google said that "UAS 'system will be used not only for providing Internet to remote areas, but ultimately for monitoring environmental damage such as oil spills and deforestation."


A special temporary permission for the test requires demonstration and adequate environment consideration during the test, but if permission gets down, Google will take 180 days from October 6, 2014 (local time) to the drone I'd like to test for. Engineer consultantAccording to Steven J. Crowley's blog, The place is the non-corporate community of New Mexico State with the headquarters of Titan AerospaceStanleyIt is expected to be transmitted in the frequency band from 910 MHz to 927 MHz, 2.4 GHz to 2.414 GHz.

In applying for the test, it is expected that the low-channel Wi-Fi will overlap the frequency band of 2.4 GHz and the 900 MHz frequency band will overlap with the wireless Internet service provider, smart meter, charge reader, etc. In addition, 911 (Emergency call phone number) Are planned to be used for location information services, but Google has not revealed which frequency band to officially use, "We are trying to use frequency bands of other users I will be able to avoid it. "

In addition, Google has invested more than 1 billion dollars (about 100 billion yen)A project to make it possible to net anywhere in the world with 180 artificial satellitesAndBalloon with antenna mounted in the stratosphereEnable remote nets "Project LoonAlthough we are promoting Internet connection plans such as "Project WingWe also carry out a flight test of product delivery service by drone called "

Amazon has long tried to establish a delivery system by drone, but each company competes and the drones are spreading. The spread of daily unmanned aircraft may not be so far.

In addition, it is one of the world's leading service providers, mainly third-party certification bodies, classification societies, risk management in the oil and gas field, experts in the field of wind power / power distribution and distributionDNV · GLHowever, unmanned aircraft has announced the concept of "unmanned sea transport ship", and until now automated operation of vehicles that needed human hands is steadily progressing.
