The new Taara Beam product is promising to deliver online connectivity which delivers the speeds of fibre but over the air. It can provide high-bandwidth connectivity across urban rooftops, enterprise campuses, and live events venues.
The Taara Photonics Platform brings the core functionality of a traditional communications system into a photonic module the size of a finger. At its core is an optical phased array containing over a thousand miniature light emitters. This means it can track, shape, and steer beams of light electronically, reducing reliance on bulky mechanical systems and enabling a shift towards exponentially scalable, solid-state architecture.
Taara Beam is the first product built on this photonics platform. It transmits data as invisible beams of near-infrared light, the same light used inside fibre optic cables, but through the air.
Beam delivers up to 25 Gbps of bidirectional throughput over distances up to 10 kilometres, with ultra-low latency. It can be deployed on rooftops, poles, or existing infrastructure in hours, without trenching, spectrum licensing, or right-of-way permits.
Taara Beam is designed for the next phase: increasing network density and flexibility. Over time, networks built on this platform can evolve into highly distributed, high-capacity mesh systems, supporting applications that require real-time responsiveness, from AI infrastructure to autonomous systems and industrial operations.
