Google is the world's largest search engine. According to recent statistics, Google's search market share accounts for 60% of total global searches. With its position as a "king" in the network service, Google is beginning to move into other areas. With its bold, somewhat crazy ideas, Google always comes up with ideas that no one can expect. As for the latest information, Google has begun researching and developing wifi signals with the ambition to provide wifi coverage worldwide. Will Google become a "king" on two thrones?
Google's ambition to cover the world with wifi
Google's ambition to cover the whole world with wifi using balloons
A project called Project Loon was announced by Google last weekend. The project involves Google using 30 balloons in disaster-stricken, flood-prone, or poor rural areas in New Zealand to broadcast wifi.
Google hopes this project will help disaster-stricken areas access the internet and get news quickly. New Zealand was chosen as the first place to test its project because in recent times New Zealand has been continuously hit by natural disasters, earthquakes frequently causing many deaths and severe damage to infrastructure.
Interestingly, before starting the project, Google conducted experimental flights in the California valley, leading many to mistakenly believe they were flying saucers.
Balloons in New Zealand

The data transmission speed of wifi devices from balloons is equivalent to today's 3G network. To ensure aviation safety, Google will have to register the balloons' locations and orbits with the Federal Aviation Administration to avoid unfortunate accidents. Google also plans to apply for permits to operate balloons in other countries.
Although the project is still in the testing phase and has only been piloted in New Zealand, it holds great potential. In the near future, Google will use thousands of balloons like these to globalize Google wifi. It is estimated that hundreds of millions, even billions, of people will have access to this free internet.

Mike Cassidy, the project leader, said the project's goals are truly ambitious, and it will be accompanied by many other great applications. The power of the internet today can change the entire world.
Before proposing this project, Google gathered the best engineers in the industry at its laboratories and secretly researched and developed the project for 18 months. The laboratory is located at Google's headquarters along with many other ambitious Google projects such as: self-driving cars, smart glasses...
It is known that Project Loon was researched and developed in complete secrecy, even the engineers' families were not informed. Some of these Google products do not immediately or may never bring profits to the
