You get 6 or 7 of these babies up in the right areas and you have coverage of the lower 48, southern Canada and northern Mexico. Linked to sat networks, ground stations and airborne assets (manned and unmanned)... this is cast iron coverage.
The article states the balloons are often used in "intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions and acting as communications relays and also serve roles in augmenting navigational systems."
If you'd read and understood the article, and/or watched the video I linked to, you would know these balloons contain advanced sensors of all kinds. With 6 or 7 balloons in the right location, those advanced sensors are able to scan the entire continental United States as well as southern Canada and northern Mexico.
What exactly are you unable to wrap your head around here? And you realize this is simply information sharing about balloons Monkey Werx tracks, right?
