As part of the Loon project, Search giant google is all set to launch thousands of balloons in the Sky. Google's project Loon is an ambitious project to deliver the Internet around the world. 

 Google's conducting trials of the Project Loon project with leading service providers like Telstra in Australia, Telefonica in Latin America and Vodafone in New Zealand. Google's been working on this project for the last few years and is now confident of launching the project.

According to the reports, the project involves beaming down LTE cellular signals to handsets on the ground from balloons thousands of feet in the air, well above the altitude that passenger jets fly. Trials are currently underway with Telstra in Australia, Telefonica in Latin America and with Vodafone in New Zealand. 

Google's experiments have revealed that the balloons can stay afloat in the sky, at an altitude way above the passenger gets fly, for up to 6 months. Google's developed software systems and hardware that can keep real-time track of the balloons and predict where the balloons can be retrieved from. 

The company has not revealed about the commercials so far and how the end users will access the Internet.
