According to the
latest report of The Wall Street Journal, Google is issued for its plan to go
into the cellular business. The company is looking to build cellular networks
and offer service to emerging markets as well as Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan
Africa. Writing anonymous sources, WSJ unveiled that the networks would be
available outside of big cities, where the service is spotty or not available
yet. For this plan, Google is reportedly working with local companies on a
possible deployment and making strategy of the business models to support the
networks.
Besides that,
Google is also targeting to build low-cost phones using its Android operating
system, consider a satellite-based wireless system which is also new, and test
the use of different types of wireless frequencies. This news was stated by
WSJ. Google seems to look at different technology fields and possible
deployments, and it may use a combination to deliver wireless services to the
folks.
By the long
Google’s lunge these several years, Google aims to make everyone around the
world connected to a high-speed wireless service, and the company wants people
around the world will use all of its services. The wireless network initiated
by Google is just another development of the fiber-optic deployments that
Google has made in selected city in the U.S.
Emerging markets
do need to build physical fiber networks to deliver internet service for their
own. Most of overseas countries which do not have an established landline
infrastructure prefer to skip it entirely and put their focus on the mobile
networks improvement that are easier and less costly to spread.
The Google’s
plan to build wireless networks in emerging markets seems to be a continued
evolution of Google from a simple online search engine to a company that
develops phones through its Motorola unit, offers software as well as Android
and Chrome, makes hardware such as the Chromebook, build next-gen tech such as
Google Glass, and serves the internet services Google Fiber.
It’s all okay to
follow the journey of the giant tech company since Google works to increase
people’s intention to use and benefit its sophisticated products and innovation
that will ease them too.
