Loon, based in Mountain View, CA, was a pioneering company that aimed to expand internet connectivity using stratospheric balloons. Over nine years, the team developed innovative technologies to deliver internet access to rural areas, fill coverage gaps, and enhance network resilience during disasters.
Through a series of successful tests and projects, including connecting a school in Brazil and providing emergency services in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, Loon demonstrated the potential of using balloons to bring affordable internet access to even the most remote and underserved communities around the world.
