I thought Project Loon switched from wifi to LTE last year.
- rtkwe 11y agoThis has probably been in the works for more than a year so they might not have had LTE coverage on the table. Also wifi is arguably more useful than LTE signals to people on the ground since more devices will be able to receive and use it beyond just cell phones and a small number of LTE equipped laptops. It could have also been a requirement to get the telecoms to work with the project and get it approved.
