Facebook wants to bring Internet everywhere with drones

Facebook could use the manufacturer Titan Aerospace for about $ 60 million. With drones able to park in height for several years, Mark Zuckerberg probably sees the way to "connect the world."

If the web connection in the world currently not logged passed by drones? If the idea seems complex to implement, it is far from stupid. For sending drones to cover certain areas with a Web connection cost much less expensive than deploying physical infrastructure networks.

This is not our thinking, but it seems to have been hired by Mark Zuckerberg. Its goal "connecting the world" and make Web services basic Wikipedia and Facebook, of course. A problem emerged when the difficulty of working with many operators. The solution drones could create this new network.

Titan Aerospace: stationary drones 

Here's why Facebook is poised to buy Titan Aerospace, a manufacturer specializing in drones able to park tens of kilometers above the ground, with solar panels. And for several years! Redemption Amount: $ 60 million.

These drones are therefore used as communication relays to provide Web access in areas devoid of physical networks. Production of 11,000 models drones Solara 60 should begin quickly. They are compared to "atmospheric satellites", of course cheaper than conventional satellites.

  
They are able to take off at night thanks to built-in batteries, then recharge alone with their solar panels, and fly more than 20 miles above sea level As outlined our colleagues, Facebook should, however, face constraints of legislation, depending on the country over which the drones will be stationed. 

But remember that Google is also searching the web coverage, but based airships. He calls it the Loon Project.
