Bright ideas travel fast.
And far.

Designed for distance

Built for long-range deployment, Taara Lightbridge delivers high-speed, secure connectivity across distance and challenging terrain—helping networks reach farther.

Faster
20
Gbps

Taara Lightbridge delivers seamless, bidirectional communication using light-based transmission for high-performance connectivity.

FArther
20
km

Securely transmits data across long distances while keeping connections strong and consistent.

Efficient
40
W

Uses roughly the energy of a lightbulb and installs in hours, not days, without digging, spectrum licensing, or right-of-way permitting.

Two options for deployment.

Choose your model.

Lightbridge has been deployed worldwide.
As operators scaled these deployments into live networks, some Tier 1 networks asked for more operational capabilities. 
Lightbridge Carrier Grade is the next evolution—adding in-band management and carrier-grade availability to the Lightbridge platform operators already rely on.

Lightbridge

Base

Proven wireless optical connectivity for rapid network extension.
Integrated as an external link within existing network architectures.
Out-of-band management via external network equipment.
High-performance connectivity with redundancy handled at the network level.
Simple, fast deployments with minimal infrastructure requirements.

Lightbridge

Pro

Carrier-grade wireless optical connectivity designed for Tier 1 operations.
Integrated directly into the network fabric with native in-band management.
Native in-band management built directly into the terminal.
Carrier-grade availability with seamless, millisecond-level failover.
Simplified deployments by reducing external switching, cabling, and hardware.

How Taara Lightbridge works. 

Like lighthouses exchanging signals across the horizon, Taara Lightbridge uses beams of light to carry massive amounts of data between two compact terminals. A two-mirror system paired with our predictive algorithms keeps the beams precisely aligned.
