Optical device beams data at speeds up to 25 Gbps via light, up to 25 kilometer range with ultra-low latency — Taara Beam uses silicon photonics technology, device about as big as a shoebox

Taara has introduced the Beam, an optical device utilizing silicon photonics technology to transmit data at speeds up to 25 Gbps over a range of up to 25 kilometers with ultra-low latency. The device, about the size of a shoebox, employs an optical phased array with miniature emitters to track and steer beams without moving parts. Taara has previously deployed its Lightbridge device in over 20 countries, catering to carriers like T-Mobile and Vodafone. While the technology is susceptible to weather conditions, Taara offers the Lightbridge Pro with automatic backup to ensure seamless communication in adverse situations.
