Lantern Satellite Receiver: The target has not been achieved

Must be reading this article you do not have to worry about the network loss chain problem, but in some special circumstances how to receive network data, this is a difficult problem.

Lantern from Outernet Company is a satellite network receiver. Through it, we can get rid of the outdoor network and signal environment restrictions, through satellite signals to receive network data, most importantly, there is no need to provide additional costs for this service.

With regard to the principle of satellite network reception, you can simply understand the radio station that we normally listen to, as long as you have a radio receiver, you can hear the radio broadcast signal from the station free of charge. The same applies to lantern, we only need to have a satellite signal receiver, we can access the satellite for free network data, it is worth mentioning that it covers a wider range than the wireless signal more stable.

At first, Outernet was just a solution for providing online content to people around the world, such as Wikipedia, books and news. Then they used the principle to network data.

Lantern is a cuboid, it gives me the first impression is a mobile power. Besides being able to solve the problem of outdoor Internet, the solar panel outside it can provide electricity for you without electricity in the outdoors, and you can even use it to recharge other electronic devices.

You might think he's nice to see here, but Lantern currently offers only 2~100MB free traffic per day, but Outernet promises to provide more free data traffic in the future.

The company's CEO had previously set the target of 10 million dollars, he said: "If we reach this number, we will be able to launch our own cubic satellite cluster into space and ensure the provision of continuous, global coverage of high-speed data." ”

In the end, lantern raised about 500,000 dollars in Indiegogo. Although the ambition has not been achieved, I believe that the world's netizens are looking forward to the "global coverage" that day.
