Google's Project Loon sends giant balloons bearing Internet-beaming antennas into the stratosphere.

Leaving Earthbound ISPs Behind Last year, Google began testing Project Loon balloons over New Zealand.

Known as Project Loon, it seeks to provide internet access to the hinterlands through high-altitude balloons.

Project Loon was first launched in 2013, with the intention of providing internet access to rural areas.

At Monday's event he touted Project Loon, an effort to deliver Internet service from connected air balloons.

These tests are another step in the rapid evolution of the unexpected and surprisingly effective Project Loon.

At issue was its effort to deliver internet access to remote areas by balloon, known as Project Loon.

On the near horizon of African technology and ICT, however, the most invigorating ideas may be Google's Project Loon.

Last year, Google Inc announced Project Loon, which aims to use solar-powered air balloons to beam the Internet to remote regions.

X is home to Project Loon, an effort to beam the Internet from the stratosphere down to people here on Earth.

Loon began life in 2011 as a Project Loon, inside Google X, the search company's arm dedicated to incubating ambitious ideas.
