Man has always braged that all that we have now on the face of the earth
is his doing in all the fields and walks of life and is due to his intelligence,
but little that he knows that-and he only knows very very miniscule- whatever the ALMIGHTY wants
to reveal to him he only knows that.These are His plans and they
unfold when He pleases and what He pleases.
I don't know if this is just a pipe dream but the organization is
real and if successful, their plans would turn the world upside
A dream about to come true
OUTERNET
Forget the Internet - soon there will be the OUTERNET:
Company plans to beam free Wi-fi to every person on Earth from space
- An ambitious project known as Outernet is aiming to launch hundreds of
- miniature satellites into low Earth orbit by June 2015
- Each satellite will broadcast the Internet to phones and computers giving billions of
- people across the globe free online access
- Citizens of countries like China and North Korea that have censored online activity
- could be given free and unrestricted cyberspace
- 'There's really nothing that is technically impossible to this'
You might think you have to pay through the nose at the moment to access the Internet.
But one ambitious organisation called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) is
planning to turn the age of online computing on its head by giving free
web access to every person on Earth.
Known as ![]()
Outernet, MDIF plans to launch hundreds of satellites into orbit by 2015.
And they say the project could provide unrestricted Internet access to countries
where their web access is censored, including China and North Korea.
The New York company plans to ask NASA to test their Outernet technology on
the International Space Station (left) so that they can begin broadcasting
Wi-Fi to web users around the world (right)
Using something known as datacasting technology, which involves sending data
over wide radio waves, the New York-based company says they'll be able
to broadcast the Internet around the world.
The group is hoping to raise tens of millions of dollars in donations
to get the project on the road.
The Outernet team claim that only 60% of the world's population currently have
access to the wealth of knowledge that can be found on the Internet.
This is because, despite a wide spread of Wi-FI devices across the globe, many countries
are unable or unwilling to provide people with the infrastructure needed to access the web.
The Outernet project is aiming to raise tens of millions of dollars to launch
hundreds of miniature satellites known as cubesats to make their dream a reality
The company's plan is to launch hundreds of low-cost miniature satellites,
known as cubesats, into low Earth orbit.
Here, each satellite will receive data from a network of ground stations across the globe.
Using a technique known as User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multitasking,
which is the sharing of data between users on a network,
Outernet will beam information to users.
Much like how you receive a signal on your television and flick through channels,
Outernet will broadcast the Internet to you and allow you to flick through certain websites.
THE OUTERNET PROJECT TIMELINE
By June of this year the Outernet project aims to begin deploying prototype
satellites to test their technology.
In September 2014 they will make a request to NASA to test their
technology on the International Space Station
By early 2015 they intend to begin manufacturing and launching their satellites
And in June 2015 the company says they will begin broadcasting the Outernet from space
'We have a very solid understand of the costs involved, as well as experience working on
numerous spacecraft,' said Project Lead of Outernet Syed Karim,
who fielded some questions on ![]()
Reddit.
'There isn't a lot of raw research that is being done here; much of what is being
described has already been proven by other small satellite programs and experiments.
There's really nothing that is technically impossible to this'
But at the prospect of telecoms operators trying to shut the project down
before it gets off the ground, Karim said: 'We will fight... and win.'
If everything goes to plan, the Outernet project aims to ask NASA for
permission to test the technology on the International Space Station.
And their ultimate goal will be to beginning deploying the Outernet satellites
into Earth orbit, which they say can begin in June 2015.
