The video discusses a solar-powered drone with a wingspan similar to a Boeing 737 but much lighter. It can fly for 90 days at altitudes between 60,000 and 90,000 feet, above weather and commercial airspace. The drone provides internet coverage over a 50-mile area with speeds of 10 Gigabits per second, significantly faster than previous technologies. It can also target objects the size of a dime from over 10 miles away. Facebook's laser communication system allows these drones to connect with each other and the ground, forming a stratospheric network.
