According to FCC filing that was published last week; Google plans to test wireless broadband tech in 24 US locations.

In an effort to explore new technology for delivering fast internet conveniently, Google Fiber is conducting a set of experimental trials in major US states including California, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia among others.

-"We are working to test the viability of a wireless network that relies on newly available spectrum,-" a Google spokesman told Business Insider. -"The project is in early stages today, but we hope this technology can one day help deliver more abundant Internet access to customers.-"

While, the FCC filing does not reveal how exactly Google will be making use of technology to give birth to their ambitious wireless concept; we can certainly take a judgment on the essential requirements for the same.

First off, Google will need to make use of a much higher spectrum - something that would need frequencies between 3.3 and 3.8GHz. They would also need a running fiber-optic cable to individual houses.

If this program were to be approved and well-functioning, it would mark another step towards a fast-speed, wireless future.
