Taara Beam Delivers 25Gbps Internet Via Near-Infrared Light
TL;DR Summary
Alphabet spinoff Taara unveils the Taara Beam, a 17‑pound device that beams up to 25Gbps of fiber‑like internet over the air using near‑infrared light for distances up to 10 km, aimed at ISPs and carriers. It’s smaller and easier to deploy than the older Lightbridge, supports rooftop or tower mounting, and is deployed in 20+ countries with partners like T‑Mobile and Airtel; a wider showcase is planned at MWC amid weather‑related reliability concerns, with pricing varying by geography and models including hardware and connectivity‑as‑a‑service.
