Forget Starlink – this PS5-sized device promises to deliver fiber-like 25Gbps internet speeds using invisible beams of light

The Taara Beam sends 25Gbps internet speeds over invisible light waves and could rival Starlink.

New Device From Starlink Rival Taara Promises 25Gbps Internet Using Light

Taara, a startup that graduated from Alphabet’s moonshot factory, has slimmed down its technology, which uses near-infrared light to bring high-speed internet to remote areas.

Taara Beam provides 25Gbps connectivity over invisible beams of light

Unlike last year's Taara Lightbridge, which connects communities separated by water and mountains at distances up to 20km (over 12 miles), the sho…

Optical device beams data at speeds up to 25 Gbps via light, up to 25 kilometer range with ultra-low latency — Taara Beam uses silicon photonics technology, device about as big as a shoebox

The Taara Beam offers a fiber-like connection without the hassle of acquiring right-of-way and laying cable. It delivers up 25 Gbps of throughput with ultra-low latency at a range of up to 10 km.

Google spin-off develops optical alternative to fiber optics

Taara presents a wireless communication system that enables data speeds of up to 25 Gbps over the air. What are the possibilities?

Taara and Astrolight push laser comms back into focus

Lasers regain momentum as Taara shrinks laser links onto a silicon photonics platform and Astrolight prepares in-orbit tests of compact laser terminals Free-space optical (FSO) communications have existed for decades, but a combination of spectrum pressure, AI-driven traffic growth and new developments in silicon photonics is bringing renewed momentum to laser-based connectivity, both on the ground and in orbit. Two announcements this week under…
