Simultaneously, it also receives direct waves. These two waves interfere constructively only for the correct wavelength that are to be received. The received signals bounces from balloon to balloon and finally reaches the ground station which are spaced about 100 km (62 mi) apart and joins the global network with pre-existing internet infrastructure, like our local telecommunications partners.
