Google Fiber is testing a few wireless technologies in an effort to build a wireless home Internet service that would complement its fiber broadband, according to a company executive.
Craig Barratt, a senior vice president at Alphabet who oversees Google Fiber and other projects in the company’s Access and Energy division, spoke generally about the plans in an interview with Re/code published today. Though Barratt didn’t reveal a timeline or specifics on technology, he said Google Fiber wants to provide fixed wireless Internet to homes where it wouldn’t make financial sense to build fiber.
