Alphabet is spinning off its Taara service, which uses laser beams for high-speed internet, enabling it to compete directly with companies like Elon Musk's Starlink. Taara is expanding its workforce and has entered partnerships to secure funding. The technology facilitates high-speed connections even in hard-to-reach locations, achieving data transmission rates of 20 gigabits per second. Taara is positioned for growth and development following the shutdown of Alphabet's Loon project, using similar laser technology to improve internet accessibility globally.
Alphabet's recent decision to spin off Taara, its laser-based internet service, allows it to pursue rapid scaling and innovation without the constraints of its former parent company.
Taara's technology can transmit data at 20 gigabits per second over a 12-mile area, providing high-bandwidth internet where traditional methods fail, directly competing with satellite systems.
