My passion for connectivity was sparked while I was applying for universities in the U.S. from an internet cafe in Chennai. Listening to the beeps and chirps of the dial up modem. I became obsessed with connectivity, and I wanted to bring its economic, educational, and social benefits to more people. Our entire Taara team shares this passion—a diverse group of manufacturing experts, telco industry veterans, optical and photonics engineers and more. Moving to the Light Generation The connectivi

Alphabet is letting its laser-based internet company Taara fly and be free, according to reporting by Financial Times. Google’s parent company is spinning off the service from X, its moonshot incubator system (not to be confused with X the social network.) Taara uses light beams to provide high-bandwidth internet and phone services to hard-to-reach areas of the world. This places it in direct competition with Elon Musk’s Starlink network of satellites. Taara now has two dozen staff members and

Alphabet is spinning out laser-based Internet company Taara from its “moonshot” incubator, hoping to turbocharge the start-up that provides high-bandwidth services to hard-to-reach areas in competition with Elon Musk’s Starlink network of satellites. Taara is the latest project to spring from X—Alphabet’s experimental hub that produced AI lab Google Brain and Waymo’s self-driving cars—and has its origins in a concept called Loon. That envisaged shooting beams of light between thousands of ballo

Light-based internet project Taara is exiting Alphabet’s “moonshot” incubator X, spinning off into an independent company. Taara’s tech uses lasers to transmit data, and is envisaged as a rival to Elon Musk’s Starlink when it comes to connecting rural areas to the internet. The Financial Times reports that Alphabet will retain a minority stake in Taara, which has also secured funding from Series X Capital. The company currently has two dozen employees and operates in 12 countries, working on ev

Forward-looking: Silicon photonics could provide an alternative solution to the growing pains of purely silicon-based chips in computing and data transmission. Light-based CPUs are likely still a long way off, but connectivity is improving fast thanks to Google's X and other startup-focused ventures. Google's X company is working on the next generation of Taara, a silicon photonics technology designed to bring fast broadband speeds to some underdeveloped areas of the world. According to stateme

Alphabet has announced a new development for Taara's technology that could lead to low-cost, high-speed internet connectivity, even in far-flung locations. Taara's general manager, Mahesh Krishnaswamy, has introduced the Taara chip, a silicon photonic chip that uses light to transmit high-speed data through the air. The Taara chip is abut the size of a fingernail, far smaller than the technology the Alphabet division has been using. Taara Lightbridge, which is what its first-generation technolog

Google just had a lightbulb moment, and it might move internet access out of the (literal) dark ages. Over at the company’s moonshot factory X, researchers have developed a chip that they believe should enable us to deliver high-speed internet access via beams of light, opening up the possibility of making all those underground cables we currently rely on a thing of the past. The project that Google has been working on is code-named Taara, and the team working on it announced on Friday a new, n

Alphabet’s “moonshot factory,” known as X, has long cultivated craziness in its edgy projects. Perhaps the most outlandish was Loon, which aimed to deliver internet via hundreds of high-flying balloons. Loon eventually “graduated” from X as a separate Alphabet division, before its parent company determined that the business model simply didn’t work. By the time that balloon popped in 2021, one of the Loon engineers had already left the project to form a team specifically working on the data tran
