Taara Beam unlocks 25Gbps city links with invisible light beams

Alphabet-backed Taara unveils Taara Beam, a shoebox-sized device that delivers up to 25Gbps over line-of-sight invisible light for city-wide middle-mile links, mountable on poles or rooftops and capable of deployment in hours with about 90W draw. It matches fiber in throughput but offers ultra-low latency (<100 μs) and is aimed at enterprises and telcos rather than consumers. Use cases include offloading lidar/sensor data from EVs and building high-speed V2X mesh networks. Taara Beam is set to surface at Mobile World Congress 2026.

Alphabet's Laser-Based Internet for Remote Areas.

Alphabet's innovation lab X has developed a new laser internet technology called Taara to deliver internet service to remote areas. Taara is helping to link up internet services in 13 countries so far including Australia, Kenya, and Fiji. The project is part of Alphabet's efforts to connect the rest of the world to the internet. The machine is the size of traffic lights that beam the laser carrying the data, essentially fiber-optic internet without the cables. Partners like Bharti Airtel use the machines to build out communications infrastructure in hard-to-reach places.
