Google is working on bringing 5G internet through solar-powered drones
The project is called SkyBender.
Internet giant Google is working at a spaceport in New Mexico to build and test solar-powered internet drones. According to the Guardian, project is codenamed as SkyBender.
Project SkyBender is using drones to experiment with millimetre-wave radio transmissions, and this technology could underpin next generation 5G wireless internet access.
The SkyBender is technically part of Google's air balloon Wi-Fi project aimed at a similar goal of bringing remote parts of the world online.
The move is an attempt by the Google to compete with other social networking giants like Facebook to bring internet access to developing countries.
