How Taara Light Beam Detector Looks like
Capabilities:
Technological Breakthroughs!
- Speed and Capacity: Taara transmits data at speeds up to 20 Gbps over distances up to 20 km.
- High Efficiency: Consumes only 40W of power per unit, making it energy efficient.
- Low Cost: Provides a low total cost of ownership with quick and easy deployment.
How it Works:
Taara, a project by X (formerly Google X), is addressing this challenge using a revolutionary wireless optical communication (WOC) technology by Reimagining Connectivity.
Instead of cables, Taara uses beams of light to deliver high-speed, high-capacity connectivity over long distances, offering fiber-like speeds where laying fiber isn't feasible. This innovation bridges gaps over rivers, rugged terrains, and even across national parks.
Advantages of Taara’s Wireless Optical Communication (WOC) Technology
- Rapid Deployment: Quickly set up without the need for extensive trenching or cabling.
- High Resilience: Adapts to environmental changes, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even in challenging conditions.
- Scalability: Easily scalable to extend networks in urban and rural areas
Successful Deployments in Africa
Taara's technology is making significant strides in Africa, transforming connectivity:
-
Congo River Project: In collaboration with Liquid Intelligent Technologies, Taara connected Brazzaville and Kinshasa, two cities separated by the Congo River. This innovative link has already delivered nearly 700 TB of data with 99.9% availability, drastically reducing the cost and improving internet access for millions.
-
Kenya Roll-Out: Partnering with Econet Group, Taara's links are being deployed across Liquid Telecom’s networks in Kenya, providing high-speed internet in areas where fiber installation is challenging or unsafe. This initiative follows successful pilots and is set to enhance connectivity across Sub-Saharan Africa.
