Alphabet's experimental division, X, is focusing on a new project called Taara that aims to deliver high-speed internet using laser technology instead of traditional radio waves. Led by former Loon engineer Mahesh Krishnaswamy, Taara seeks to provide an innovative solution for bringing internet access to underserved regions. Following the unsuccessful Loon project, which attempted internet delivery via balloons, Taara may represent a more feasible pathway to achieve widespread connectivity with faster and more efficient technology. The initiative reflects a commitment to enhancing global internet access.
Alphabet's 'moonshot factory,' known as X, has long cultivated craziness in its edgy projects.
Taara aims to deliver high-bandwidth internet via laser beams, potentially ushering in a new era of connectivity.
Mahesh Krishnaswamy, who leads Taara, is dedicated to making connectivity more accessible for people, prioritizing high-speed internet delivery.
Loon eventually 'graduated' from X, but its business model was deemed unviable, leading to its shutdown.
