TAARA TO 
INTRODUCE HIGH 
SPEED INTERNET 
USING LIGHT 
BEAMS
INTRODUCTION
■ Google is said to be providing high-speed 
Internet and telecoms networking using 
light beams in talks with Airtel and Jio 
telecommunications.

Project Taara
■ The technology is part of Project Taara that 
uses light to relay information as a rather 
small invisible radiator at very high speeds 
through the air — fiber-like, yet cables-
free, as per Project X, Google's business.

HOW IT WORKS?
■ The technology allows light beams between 
transmitters and recipients on buildings 
and surfaces instead of radio waves.
■  The velocity may be as high as 20 
gigabytes a second as opposed to under 
one gigabyte a second, a source that ET 
Telecom is familiar with.

Game Changer
■ This is a game changer since it can 
connect to remote areas and have Internet 
connectivity across cable-free buildings 
and lower the tower burden.

PILOT PROJECT
■ Project Taara in Africa and Andhra Pradesh 
was piloted, according to sources, in India 
and Kenya.

Google’s Project X
■ Project X by Google has pointed out the 
ability of its team to greatly accelerate the 
implementation of the comprehensive, 
high-performance networks needed to 
sustain the future of the Web in talks with 
telcos, ISP's and governments worldwide.

Remote Location
■ The system is working for hard-to-connect 
locations, like places covering woods, waterways, 
track tracks or high-cost property lands. 
■ It depends on open standards under which 
current infrastructure and ecosystems can run 
seamlessly.

Wireless Optical Networking 
■ THigeh cspehedn ofo upl oto g20 iGebpss can also be 
passed on via wireless optical networking 
technologies. 
■ A link for the expansion of the fibre 
networks will span distances up to 200 
km.

Cost-effective
■ The project seeks to provide high-speed 
connections to rural areas in a cost-
effective and easily deployable way.

Major Connectivity
■ Taara connections help plug crucial holes 
in major connectivity points, such as 
mobile towers and WiFi hotspots, and are 
capable of allowing thousands of users to 
obtain access to online resources in 
education, enterprise and communication.

Project Station
■ Google shut down a project called "Station" 
earlier in February this year, through which 415 
India railway stations were given free Wi-Fi. 
■ After 5 years of service, the project was 
launched by the organisation due to the 
improved 4G coverage around the country and 
cheap data speeds.
