GOOGLE MOONSHOT SPINOFF LOOKS TO SHIP CITY-SCALE LASER INTERNET

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Taara, a Google moonshot spin-off, plans to create urban data highways made out of light. Taara Photonics is a wireless communication platform based on optical phased arrays. The Taara Beam transmits data wirelessly with Class 1M eye-safe lasers in the unlicensed infrared band 193 THz. It can support speeds of up to 25 Gbps over a claimed range of up to 10 kilometers. The Taara Lightbridge Pro can do double that distance.
