Internet giant Google is planning to provide high speed
internet through new technologies like fiber to home and through satellites and
is becoming competition to existing internet service providers .Google is
currently providing fastest internet services through fiber to home technology
across 12 cities in united states. Google is planning to spend $1billion to
launch a fleet of 180 satellites.
O3b-other three billion has 4 satellites in orbit and plans
to launch few more –it is currently providing internet to mobile carrier base
station. Satellite internet is traditionally provided by geo-stationary
satellites which orbit at 35000kms above the earth surface with a delay of 600
millisecond which is very high. While o3b’s satellite orbit at relatively low latitude
of about 85kms with 150 millisecond delay.
These satellites can even work when they are in motion
relative to earth surface which is possible by beam-forming technology.
