Facebook's plans to become a flying internet service provider for the developing world are coming to fruition. The company today introduced Aquila, a high-flying, long-endurance plane that will bring basic internet access to the developing world. A working model of the plane is now ready for testing, Facebook said.

Facebook's shallow, V-shaped plane has the wingspan of a Boeing 737. But even fully loaded down with communications gear, Aquila only weighs between 880 to 1,000 lbs — about a third the weight of a Prius. "When deployed, it will be able to circle a remote region for up to 90 days, beaming connectivity down to people from an altitude of 60,000 to 90,000 [feet]," the company said in a blog post. This means the planes will be flying at an altitude above commercial aircraft, and even above the weather.

FLYING ABOVE COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT AND THE WEATHER

This is how it will work: Facebook will have lasers on the ground that can locate the dome-shaped optical head, located on the bottom of the plane, in the air — basically shooting a laser at a dime-sized target that is more than 10 miles away. The plane will first hone in on the general location of the laser on the ground, proceeding to target it further and lock onto the location so that it can start beaming down the internet. Because the plane requires a connection with the lasers on the ground though, you might experience a slower connection when it's raining or cloudy.

The plane is built from two layers of lightweight carbon fiber material that sandwich a layer of foam. The planes are intended to stay afloat for three months at a time — presently the record for an aircraft staying afloat is two weeks — which is why the entire outside shell will be covered in solar panels. During the day, when they are fully charged, the planes will fly at an altitude of 90,000 feet. But at night, in order to conserve power, they'll float down to about 60,000 feet, going back up again the following day. This ensures a constant connection to the internet, because they do not need to come down to be charged.

A BREAKTHROUGH IN LASER PERFORMANCE

Facebook says it has also achieved a significant breakthrough in the speed and accuracy of how these lasers work — they've lab-tested a laser that can deliver data at tens of gigabits per second, which is 10 times faster than the current state-of-the-art lasers in the industry.

Facebook plans to use its Aquila fleet to create a linked network that will bring internet access to rural areas. Using a variety of data sources, Facebook can figure out where people are located physically, in order to then decide the most cost-effective way to bring them connectivity. As with its Internet.org project, Facebook won't provide access directly, and will instead partner with local carriers to offer services.

i've been connected to the internet since morning but no show. how do i know its downloading? is there any way to check the download progress?

If it didn't show on your taskbar, go to the right corner of your desktop, right-clickn then click customize, check it in the list of the items there because you might have turn off the notification, just set it to show icon.

PerfectlyPerfect:
dude how did you download it?
i have the "get windows 10' icon on my taskbar but the download hasn't started yet. i tried using the manual download tool on microsoft website but its downloading very slowly. is there any link to download the windows installer files or iso manually with my download manager

Since you already have the reserve, there is no need of manual download, just on your data and it will start downloading automatically, also check on the icon, i suggest you do it at night, mine was fast because i did it around 1am and i have full, uninterpretable 3G network. Goodluck

Hmm

Serious

VIPERVENOM:
done upgrading!!!

Your start menu is in tablet mode, right?

Nice one

sinaj:
thankz will try it lera sha

I will try using a wi-fi first

Alright, I suggest you do it in the night, that when it will be faster.

sinaj:
I just hope itz as easy as u typed it

Its very easy, it will just take time,depending on your area,if you have 3G, it won't take much time.

mrintelligent:
I bought the CD (u should understand the normal naija Cd) from computer village, but the key on the cd not working. What can I do? Is there any other way to go about it?
Thanks

What the version of your PC? because if its Windows 7 SP1 or windows 8,8.1..... you don't need any cd, you just need data,minimum of 2GB depending on your area. its online.

Idyvalour:
how to register for the upgrade??

I didn't register, i just reserved the free copy last two weeks, it started downloading automatically this morning. so you can download it without registering, just make sure that your pc is compatible,as started by the op earlier.

ibietela2:
Can i see your home screen?

How did you upgrade after downloading the file?

What happened to your files and datas?

Oga, i didn't lose any of my file,it just that am getting to learn some of the features now.
secondly, if you reserved the free download, microsoft will download it automatically to your pc, like mine, when i on my PC around 1:00am, then connected it to internet, i saw the notice at the right corner of my toolbars that Windows 10 is Downloading....... you just need to wait for it depending on how fast your network is, i have 3G in my area, so it took like 20-35 minutes to download,before downloading the updates and other steps.

kazmanbanjoko:
na data d tin go chop.

Depending on your network, mine consume only 1.5GB

Xprone:
I'm sure Seun's PA can tell us because considering the way they celebrate this 1st to comment thing, there certainly should be more to it than some of us know of.

Seriously bro, I can't wait for the reason o, especially the insult when someone else comment first.

Xprone:
Can someone please tell me what is so special about being the first to comment on a thread that makes front page on nairaland?
It surprises me to see post and counter post of celebration, sometimes insults on why one should be or shouldn't be 1st to comment.
Don't insult me please, just want to know what the 'koko' is.
Enlighten me.

my Dear, I have been wondering too, some people feels as if it lottery, I thought they are paying someone that comment first.

Haha
