Taara Beam provides 25Gbps connectivity over invisible beams of light

The Verge3 min read

Here's the thing: Taara just launched this new tech called Taara Beam, and it’s pretty mind-blowing. They’re using invisible beams of light to deliver internet speeds of 25Gbps. That’s right—25 gigabits per second! It’s like fiber optics but without the hassle of digging up streets.

The wild part? This device can be mounted on street poles and rooftops, and it can cover distances up to 10km. Plus, it has ultra-low latency—less than 100 microseconds—which is way better than satellite internet solutions like Starlink. So, if you're in a meeting and someone mentions low-latency connectivity, you can casually drop that stat!

Taara Beam is designed for enterprises and telcos, not for everyday consumers. They’re seeing interest from companies looking to offload huge amounts of data from electric vehicles and to create high-speed networks for smart city applications. It’s a game changer for urban infrastructure and could really enhance how cities operate.

Keep an eye on this one; it’s debuting at Mobile World Congress next week. It’s definitely a topic worth bringing up!
