confirmed by the January reports that Google wants to become a mobile operator. company blog , the company announced the start of the project is about access. Its users will be able to carry on a conversation, send SMS, use the internet.
The number in the cloud
Project Fi, the name of the new network will be a very unusual case, because the support is only one phone model – produced by Motorola for Google ‘a Nexus 6. This flagship phone company, which has been prepared to support a fairly unique solution. It consists in the fact that the subscriber number is separated from the particular device – incoming calls or messages can be received on different phones, or (as he wrote, Google) or even tablet computers. This finding suggests that soon Fi Project will also support other devices. Recent movements of Google, especially the emphasis on the use of Android and Chrome OS in the business, shows that the Project Fi can also operate with devices operating under the control of these systems.
Range million hotspots
Google currently does not intend to create their own infrastructure – use the T-Mobile and Sprint. But not only. Coverage will be provided to the user by using the “network million hotspots” scattered around the United States. Google ensures that consumers will not feel any discomfort when during a call will switch from one Punt sharing the link to the other.
Download the data without paying for roaming
Another element of the distinctive new network is unusual, as the conditions of the US, accounting for data usage. You have to realize that in the US data transmission in mobile networks is a service of less developed and more expensive, it in Europe or Asia. Project Fi offers unlimited voice and messaging for $ 20 a month and $ 10 per gigabyte used. The difference is that they are actually used accounted for the data – other networks usually charge a flat fee regardless of the amount of transmitted information. An added attraction is a powerful network of wi-fi spots, all of which will be able to use the Google network subscribers and roaming – in 120 countries, data transfer will cost the same as in the United States.
Revolution?
Due to the fact that the Project fi is limited to the US and one phone model, it is difficult at the moment to talk about the revolution. But the mere fact that Google’s entry into such service is an important change that will surely stir in the American market. Existing players can expect the outflow of those customers who most depend on new technological solutions. And when the market appears to be such a great company like Google, it is expected that over time is outside the United States. I wonder what would happen if the Project Fi appeared in Poland?
