谷歌母公司Alphabet结束气球互联网分支Loon
阿思达克 01-22 15:37
谷歌(Google)母公司Alphabet(GOOGL.US)决定关闭气球互联网分支Loon。Loon是以气球代替基站连接互联网,但公司认为有关技术在商业上并不可行。

Loon於2011年成立,旨在利用气球搭载经太阳能发电的网络设备,於地球上提交通讯连接,惟有关科技在技术及政治上备受质疑。Loon行政总裁Alastair Westgarth表示,团队未能将成本下降至长期可持续水平。曾参与计划的Loon创办人Rich DeVaul表示,由於流动通讯需求剧增,导致铁塔兴建变得具成本效益,影响Loon生存空间。

Loon去年於非洲肯雅进行测试计划,参与夥伴肯雅电讯没有评论事件。
