Recently, Loon Inc a subsidiary of alphabet Inc of Google has launched loon balloons to provide internet services in Narobi. Altogether 35 such balloons have been launched. This will cover approximately 31,000 square km area throughout central western Kenya and Narobi. Theses balloons work as floating mobile towers. They are powered by solar cell and guided through the software. They float in the stratosphere for almost 100 days and then return back to the earth. The entire project was announced in July 2018. The technology can work in remote areas and places where installation of tower is difficult.   How Loon Balloons work? Loon balloons are deployed in stratosphere to form a network, between the altitudes of 18 to 25km. The stratosphere is advantageous because of low turbulence and wind speed. The longitude and latitude of these balloons can be changed through clanging the altitude. This is done by changing the volume and density of the filled gas. The technology can be used i
