Social networking giant Facebook is planning to deliver high-speed internet using laser shooting drones or satellites. Facebook is presently working on the laser technology to use drones and satellites to provide internet to people.
It has also approached the Indian government for carrying out pilot project in the country.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on his social media page, “Our Connectivity Lab is developing a laser communications system that can beam data from the sky into communities. This will dramatically increase the speed of sending data over long distances.
As part of our Internet.org efforts, we’re working on ways to use drones and satellites to connect the billion people who don’t live in range of existing wireless networks. Normally you wouldn’t be able to see the actual beams.”
The California headquartered firm had started Internet.org in partnership with telecom players in select markets.
Under the project, people in developing countries including India can access some websites without paying for mobile internet charges.
