</li>
<li><a href="http://www.cnet.com/products/asus-transformer-book-v/">The Transformer Book V</a> is named for its ability to run in five different modes. You can use it as an Android phone, tablet or laptop; or you can switch it to a Windows tablet or use it as a notebook. It will have up to 64GB of onboard storage, and has 2GB of RAM. The phone part comes with a 5-inch display and will have LTE onboard. Both parts are powered by Intel

<p>Google plans to spend more than $1 billion on a fleet of satellites to extend Internet access to unwired regions of the globe, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/article_email/google-invests-in-satellites-to-spread-internet-access-1401666287-lMyQjAxMTA0MDAwMTEwNDEyWj">reports the Wall St Journal</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://tmfassociates.com/blog/2014/05/29/googles-space-odyssey/">The project reportedly will start with 180 small, high-capacity satellites</a> orbiting the earth at lower altitudes than traditional satellites, and then could expand.</p>
<div align="center">
<iframe width="540" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JECTvONMe3w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
<p>Google’s satellite venture is led by Greg Wyler, founder of <a href="http://www.o3bnetworks.com/">O3b Networks </a>, a medium orbit satellite constellation that delivers backhaul to cell sites, which Google has also invested in. Google has also been hiring engineers from satellite company Space Systems/Loral LLC to work on the project.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.spacenews.com/article/satellite-telecom/40736google-backed-global-broadband-venture-secures-spectrum-for-satellite" target=new><img src="http://www.spacenews.com/sites/spacenews.com/files/styles/large/public/images/articles/BrianHolz_BH.jpg?itok=wrz3jYY6"/></a>
</div>
<p>Google has also invested in <a href="http://www.google.com/loon/#utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Global_semBK">Project Loon</a>, a series of high-altitude balloons to provide broadband to remote parts of the world, and <a href="http://titanaerospace.com/">Titan Aerospace</a>, which is building solar-powered drones to provide similar connectivity. <a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2014/04/14/google-buying-drone-company-titan">Facebook has its own drone effort</a>.</p>
<p>O3b has been planning to launch about a dozen satellites, aiming to serve large areas on either side of the equator. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O3b_%28satellite%29">Each O3B will weigh approximately 700 kilograms</a> (1,500 lb) with the beams covering 700 km in diameter (435 miles). The <a href="http://www.o3bnetworks.com/media-centre/press-releases/2014/ses-first-to-offer-o3b%E2%80%99s-medium-earth-orbit-offerings-on-gsa-schedule">O3b</a> and <a href="http://www.iridium.com/about/iridiumnext.aspx">Iridium NEXT</a> systems (700kg and 800kg respectively) cost at least $40M per satellite to build and launch.</p>
<p>Google small satellite venture hopes to cover the entire globe with satellites weighing less than 250 pounds (113 Kilograms). The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which regulates satellite orbital slots and spectrum, shows L5/WorldVu filings as <a href="http://www.spacenews.com/article/satellite-telecom/40736google-backed-global-broadband-venture-secures-spectrum-for-satellite">promising to start service in late 2019</a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.radioworld.com/article/SkyBridge-Satellite-System-Shares-BAS-Ku-Band-Spectrum/191255">SkyBridge had a similar idea using the Ku-band</a>. It was abandoned for lack of financing, and it is the legacy SkyBridge frequencies that L5/WorldVu proposes to use. </p>
<div align="center">
<a href="https://www.itu.int/newsarchive/press/WRC97/SkyBridge.html" target=new><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5278/14143268758_57ed2d1ae0.jpg"/></a>
</div>
<p>The SkyBridge system would use 80 satellites orbiting at 1,500 km, in 20 orbital planes with four equally spaced satellite per plane. The circular orbital planes would have been inclined at 53 degrees from the equator, 18 degrees apart.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spacenews.com/article/satellite-telecom/40736google-backed-global-broadband-venture-secures-spectrum-for-satellite">Google’s satellites</a>, apparently, will operate in circular orbits of 800 and 950 kilometers inclined 88.2 degrees relative to the equator, have been given regulatory deadlines of between late 2019 and mid-2020 to enter service, according to ITU records, using the Ku band (12/14 GHz).</p>
<p>Google’s approach might be contrasted with <a href="http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1102/04iridium/">Iridium NEXT spacecraft</a>, the successor to the current constellation, and due to begin launching in the first quarter of 2015. Iridium’s satphone service uses a lower frequency (1.6 GHz), but are no speed demons for internet access.</p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/iridium-next.htm" target=new><img src="http://space.skyrocket.de/img_sat/iridium-next__2.jpg"/></a>
</div>
<p> <a href="http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/iridium-next.htm">Iridium NEXT may cost a total of $3 billion</a>. It will have 72 operational satellites and in-orbit spares, orbiting at 780 km × 780 km, cicular orbits, inclined 86.4°. </p>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1102/04iridium/" target=new><img src="http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1102/04iridium/iridiumnext.jpg"/></a>
</div>
<p>Each Iridium Next spacecraft employs an L-band (1.6 GHz) phased array antenna for generation of the 48-beam, 4,700 km diameter cellular pattern for direct communication with users. The cross-linked 66 satellite constellation forms a global network in space. Ka-band links provide ground-based backhaul and in-orbit crosslinks.</p>
<p><a href="http://tmfassociates.com/blog/2014/05/29/googles-space-odyssey/">Satellite consultant Tim Farrar</a> estimated that 180 small satellites could be launched for as little as about $600 million. But the full 360 satellite system would likely cost $3B for the 100kg satellites and $4B-$5B for the 200-300kg satellites.</p>
<p>Farrar says the planned system is expected to involved 360 LEO Ku-band satellites using <a href="http://www.spacenews.com/article/satellite-telecom/40736google-backed-global-broadband-venture-secures-spectrum-for-satellite">a filing by WorldVu</a> in Jersey. He believes the constellation will have 18 planes of 20 satellites, with half at an altitude of 950km and the remainder at 800km. The higher altitude satellites provide global coverage, and the lower satellites being added later, in between the initial 9 planes, provide additional capacity.</p>
<p>It’s not immediately clear how the end user terminals and backhaul could work. <a href="http://www.kymetacorp.com/">Kymeta’s new flat panel beamforming antenna</a>, might eliminate the need for tracking dishes, but they’re not practical on mobile phones. Secondly, if the satellite footprint covers the size of a state (with a million people), then supplying the needed backhaul capacity could be problematic. </p>

The geostationary Ka-band satellites already have a spot-beam solution. But, except for Inmarsat and Intelsat, they’re not global. </p>
<p>LEO satellites are one way Google could deliver global access to the internet. Their investment in medium orbit O3B indicates they are serious. But it may be more of a political solution rather than an engineering solution. And it would be no political walk in the park. Private US ventures such as these may have been essentially killed off by the snoops at the NSA.</p>
