Google Fiber has been creating ultra fast internet to homes and businesses for years. Now a physical connection, Google Fiber is looking to make its infrastructure completely wireless in the near future. A recent filing with the FCC shows that Google is looking to test out new ways to bring this ultra fast internet to people everywhere, wirelessly.
Key Takeaways:
- A new FCC filing by Alphabet, Google’s parent company, laid out the Cupertino, California-based company’s plan to begin testing internet-disseminating radios in regions around the country.
- Google’s been testing wireless technology in Kansas City, the first city to receive Fiber service, for the past several weeks, the documents revealed.
- At Alphabet’s quarterly shareholder meeting in June, Chairman Eric Schmidt spoke about the company’s exploratory steps toward fiber-optic alternatives.
“But Google faces an uphill technological climb. Its wireless choice of medium in question, millimeter wave technology, is limited in range and affected by both inclement weather and physical obstacles.”
