According to foreign media reports: Google engineers recently disclosed a blog about the Wi-Fi network that Google built in Mountain View city for free trial by employees and local residents. The number shows that there are as many as 15 thousand users each month.
Several Google engineers responsible for Internet access technology disclosed the data on their blogs. It is said that the free Wi-Fi network in Mountain View has covered about 25 square kilometers, with as many as 15 thousand users logging on each month.
Google said that in the local Wi-Fi network that provides free access services, a total of four hundred wireless mesh routers are used, and the data transmitted every day is as much as 300 GB. According to Google, the volume of data transmitted over the network has grown by almost per month.
About a year ago, Google announced that it would build a free Wi-Fi network in Mountain View, the location of its California Headquarters, to provide free Internet access services to employees and residents of Mountain View.
In addition to Mountain View, Google originally planned to build a larger Wi-Fi network with its partner Earthlink in San Francisco, California. The operating mode is also free of charge like mountain view. However, San Francisco's free Wi-Fi Plan is currently on hold.
Since the beginning of the year, major U.S. cities have remembered the tide of building a Wi-Fi man. Earthlink has become a pioneer in the industry and won contracts from multiple cities. In general, the company provides free narrowband and paid broadband services, so that the urban Wi-Fi network can develop itself.
