๐ Taara's Laser Internet: Faster and Cheaper than Starlink and Fiber * Promises 10-100x faster than Starlink, at lower cost than fiber * "Lightbridge" devices transmit data up to 20km at 20Gbps
๐ How it Works * Uses focused light beams, not cables or satellites * Mounted on rooftops/poles, no ground digging required * Ideal for challenging environments like rivers, valleys, remote areas
๐ Origins and Deployments * Spun off from Alphabet's Project Loon balloon internet * Quietly deployed in test markets like Kinshasa, Nairobi, Coachella
๐ฎ Future Plans * 2026: Miniaturized "chip" version to simplify installation, reduce costs * Aims to bridge digital divide for 3 billion without reliable internet
๐ค Starlink Comparison * Targets specific locations, not global satellite coverage like Starlink * Spun off from Alphabet to scale faster with investments and partnerships
