#Internet drone

Mark Zuckerberg wants to provide internet connectivity to everyone on this planet but current solutions -- cables, towers, repeater -- is a challenge to deploy, and also expensive to set up in remote areas. That's why Facebook made Aquila, a solar-powered internet drone, and it just complete its full-scale test flight. The internet provides information, opportunity and human connection, yet less than half the world has access. We’re proud to announce the successful first test flight of Aquila, the solar airplane we designed to bring internet access to people living in remote locations. Eventually, it will be able to be 60,000 - 90,000 feet above beaming internet connectivity to remote areas Facebook wishes to reach. Pasig Mega Market now has satellite-powered internet to support cashless payments under the Paleng-QR Ph Plus program of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Department of Information and Communications Technology. The internet service is powered by Starlink and provides public WiFi access inside Pasig Mega Market. From phishing scams and identity theft to misinformation and harmful online behavior, internet users today are navigating a digital environment that demands not only access, but awareness, vigilance, and responsibility.
