To give visibility to the campaign, Google has amassed an ecosystem of low-cost smartphones running Android in microprocessors low power consumption.
Without using the traditional infrastructure, the signal Google is performed through high altitude platforms – balloons and airships – which can transmit to the areas of hundreds of square kilometers, according to a blog post African.
