Google use 71-76 and 81-86 GHz
Arstechica reports 'Google tells the FCC its secret airborne network is
nothing to worry about'
Ron Amadeo writes: Google has told the US government that it believes
its secret airborne network won't interfere with any existing networks
and won't harm any people or animals. Google has been hoping to perform
a "two-year nationwide test" of the network and recently addressed some
concerns people had raised about it.
In the filing, Google only calls the project a "nationwide testing of
airborne and terrestrial transmitters in the 71-76 and 81-86 GHz bands
(collectively, the E-band)." It wants to keep the project a secret, but
all signs point to it being for Project Loon, Google's airborne network
of balloons which it has primarily tested in New Zealand. The
application is signed by Astro Teller, the head of Google's "X"
division, which houses Project Loon.
