Giants such as Google, Facebook and Apple is considering building a global satellite network, challenges the traditional telecom operators.
The end of 20th century, catch running only six months after the bankruptcy of Iridium, industry seems to be abandoned efforts to provide communications services for the Earth by satellite. Iridium at a cost of $ 6 billion, deploying up to 66 satellites, operating only a few users and revenues in half a year. It failed after 15 years of time, there is no similar programme for investors of all ages.
People are going to forget "satellite Internet" the technology exists, the industry was alarming news: technology companies, including Google, Facebook and Apple engage with manufacturers such as Boeing, intention to buy advanced high bandwidth communications satellites to create global-based wireless network. Start such rumors is more like April Fool's day joke, but as more and more information being exposed, rumors come true possibilities is also increasing. Boeing recently that Google and other companies have a clear intent to purchase the satellite, Google and Facebook are starting to publicly talk about the satellite network's plan, a new era of global satellite Internet plans have been imminent.

Iridium failed because the cost is too high, too few users
Why are they targeting the satellite?
Google, Apple and Facebook are not involved in any large-scale telecommunication network operations. For many years their main business operators do not have a direct conflict with the traditional, both sides can claim to be entirely different. However, with the rapid development of the Internet, operator's network building has started to become the bottleneck of the entire industry. Low coverage rate, rates high, communication issues such as quality of instability is a direct threat to several major technology giant's core market: whether it is Google or Apple iPhone mobile phone or Facebook social networking, are heavily dependent on high speed Internet service. In order to facilitate the progress of network infrastructure, these companies seek to build telecommunications networks.
But on the land to create a high level of Internet is not a easy thing: not said huge investment and long construction period, many countries do not allow the multinationals public network. Global coverage, based on traditional cable, single telecommunications network of ground stations impossible from the outset. Companies such as Google, Apple must find a new channel, and over the years since the military demand and rapid development of satellite communications technology is the best choice.
Satellite spectrum, please?
A star satellite can not by limit to through any national of territory over, free to to Earth transfer radio; build global satellite network not need with more than 100 multiple national of Government individually negotiations, without from greed of real estate business there purchase land to construction base station; laying a cover global of satellite system only need two or three years time; built Hou of maintenance also than ground network easy, at least without still face indifference of officials and worried electromagnetic radiation of ignorance residents.
Iridium era of satellite data transmission bandwidth is not enough for a large number of users with high speed broadband service levels. But after entering the 21st century, European and American powers repeated military operations have greatly stimulated the progress of satellite networks. In 2011, President Barack Obama at the White House to watch the assassination of bin Laden's live video, hero is behind America's high-bandwidth global satellite system. Boeing's next-generation communication satellites able to Gbps speed with large numbers of ground communication, sufficient to satisfy the 5G age of consumer demand. Building the basic telecommunications network by satellite has no technical bottlenecks.

Move closer to base station 100 km above the ground high in the sky, the biggest problem is the high cost. Low Earth orbit satellite manufacturing and launch costs of the yearly low, but still is very expensive than ground stations. In addition, the satellite network are vulnerable to interference, larger terminals, indoor basic inherent flaw that cannot be used. Because of these problems, completely replaced by satellite ground network is out of the question, which can only be used as a complement to the latter. Even if Google and Apple have their own satellite system in the future, also provide services only to a fraction of the billions of Internet users worldwide.
What is the purpose of the technology giants?
Build and maintain a global satellite network needs billions of dollars investment, the money than Apple Google for hundreds of billions of dollars of cash reserves is not a problem, but no one likes to do business at a loss. Impossible for science and technology communication costs like the operator profits, from the satellite project no one can achieve break-even. Has the greatest benefit of their own space broadband project is a bargaining chip: last year, Apple's new iPad try software SIM card technology, jeopardize the interests of operators and were strongly resisted by the latter. If Apple has its own telecommunications services may occupy the initiative in such a contest, oppression on the operators network world in its tracks. Similarly, Google at odds with Governments unable to conduct business in those countries, and satellite network is probably Google bypassed government channels only to access these markets.
Just for a new SIM card carrier for Apple of discontent
The other hand, consumers want to enjoy a unique networking experience. Loyal fans of Apple products if you use Apple-based network to a faster rate into iTunes, Appstore, iCloud service, this is the traditional operators under the relevant regulations are difficult to do. In addition, the intelligent car car capacity of networking is one of the core competencies, satellite network to try to share cake in the car market IT Giants make products more attractive. Satellite projects could help the Internet giant in the long run more advantage in a lot of business, the deal is worth enough.
When do we experience from the sky network services?
Current enterprise does not keep accurate satellite schedule. Low orbit expected practical applications of the Internet system started running until 2020 at the earliest, basic commercial progress consistent with the 5G network. Internet companies "SkyNet" and ground 4/5G system alignment of access charges are expected, not as expensive as the current Iridium unbearable. This time, rich technology companies like Motorola same loss six months continue to insist, once completed will be new generation-based network operation, fixed broadband, cellular radio telecommunications technology and the third largest Internet access.
