Humans thrive on connection.

Yet billions lack reliable connectivity. This gap demands a groundbreaking solution. Taara lights the way forward, delivering blazing fast, abundant connectivity.

Introducing
Taara Lightbridge

Meet Lightbridge

Taara uses light to extend and amplify the global communications network. From under-connected communities to densely populated cities, our technology bridges existing gaps to amplify the connectivity infrastructure.

Speed

Connect farther and faster.

Using wireless optical communications, Taara Lightbridge can achieve speeds of up to 20 Gbps over distances of up to 20 km – and lower latency than fiber.

Stability

Keep the connection.

When atmospheric conditions disrupt the light, our adaptive rate and hybrid architecture maintains the connection, with minimal downtime.

Setup

Make installation light work.

Installation is completed in hours, not days – all without digging, spectrum licensing or right-of-way permitting.

Security

Stay safe and secure.

Connections are kept secure, private, and continually protected against threats.

Taara goes where others can’t.

We extend and amplify the global communications network.

Taara Lightbridge is designed to scale across markets — rural or urban, developed and emerging — reaching more people in more places. Our technology delivers connectivity to people wherever they are — from downtown Mumbai to rural Missouri.

Deliver high bandwidth backhaul.

Taara extends fiber capacity seamlessly and augments radio networks to manage growing data demands where it’s needed most.

Extend urban last-mile connectivity.

Connect every corner of the city, from residential high-rises to universities, hospitals, and businesses.

Bridge challenging terrain.

Mountains, rivers and railroads might stop traditional networks, but Taara can bridge those gaps and deliver connectivity across rugged terrain.

Improve network resilience.

Taara serves as a backup to fiber and a disaster recovery solution, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity during outages or emergencies.

Enable rapid deployment & redeployment.

Whether powering large-scale events or testing new markets, Taara brings fast, flexible connectivity where and when needed.

Ensure secure data transmission.

Trust your data to a system designed for security. A low probability of interference and detection means sensitive transmissions are kept safe.

We’re taking light farther than ever before.

With wireless optical communication on a chip, Taara is pioneering the next generation of connectivity and bringing the innovation of light to new industries and sectors. Get a front row seat to our latest innovation, which has wide-ranging capabilities and impact.
