Google Is Building A 100kW Radio Transmitter At A Spaceport And No One Knows Why :
In a publication released last week, Google asked the FCC to treat some information relating to radio experiments as confidential. These experiments involve highly directional and therefore high power transmissions at 2.5 GHz, 5.8GHz, 24GHz, 71-76GHz, and 81-86GHz. These experiments will take place at Spaceport America, a 12,000 foot runway in the middle of New Mexico occasionally used by SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and now Google.
For the most part, this document only tells the FCC that Google won’t be causing harmful interference in their radio experiments. There few other details, save for what bands and transmitters Google will be using and an experimental radio license call sign (WI9XZE) that doesn’t show up in the FCC database.
While it all sounds so juicy and conspiratorial, this may simply be a planned future venture to bring faster internet to all.
Of course there is still the chance Google will suck the souls out of our eyeballs and make swine eat them. Or something like that.
