“Optical technology has continuously advanced connectivity solutions to deliver the world’s growing capacity for bandwidth, from fibre optic deployments to innovations in wireless optical communications and across the photonics industry. As the fabric of our connectivity infrastructure expands to serve real-time AI inference, edge computing and billions of connected devices, we see bandwidth and latency bottlenecks throughout the network. Every layer of this network, from data centres to long-haul and last-mile links – and even non-terrestrial links – now face mounting pressure to deliver faster speeds and lower latency with greater energy efficiency,” wrote Devin Brinkley, SVP of Engineering at Taara, in Electro Optics. Following the Optical Solutions for High-Speed Data Transmission webcast, Electro Optics recently featured Devin’s perspective on how Taara is pushing the boundaries of optical communication — from precision beam alignment to robust system and network design — to deliver fast, reliable connectivity where traditional infrastructure is difficult or impossible to deploy. He highlights the importance of creating technology that’s both engineered for resilience and optimized for scalability, enabling broadband access across diverse environments, from dense urban residential corridors to remote industrial sites. “After decades of optimisation, most radio systems now operate around a decibel from the Shannon limit, which basically means they’re reaching the performance limitations. Wireless optical communications systems, on the other hand, are just beginning to tap their potential.” Read more about “Bridging the Optical Divide: The Real-World Challenges Behind High-Speed Connectivity” and what Taara is doing to make wireless optical communications ubiquitous: https://lnkd.in/gVZFvV_Y

Had a great opportunity to host Jose Pozo, Olga Raz, and Jon Pugh at X, The Moonshot Factory! After hosting Taara at the Global Photonic Economic Forum in Malaga last month, Jose and the team at Optica came by to learn more about Taara's innovation journey, and our role in shaping the future of the photonics industry. Thanks to Sanam Mozaffari, Michael Caverley, and Dan Cohen for welcoming the team at Optica!

Today, as part of an announcement from The City of Rio de Janeiro and X, The Moonshot Factory, Taara announced our partnership with the city to deploy the world’s first mesh network of high-speed wireless optical links to deliver fast, abundant and secure connectivity to schools, hospitals and city offices in Rio. Although Brazil ranks among the world’s five largest internet economies, more than half of the population uses smartphones to get online, and existing cellular infrastructure varies by community. Taara's goal is to bridge connectivity gaps across the city and provide fast, affordable connectivity to critical services like schools, hospitals, government centers, and in disaster response situations. We are honored to be supporting Rio’s AI City vision and its mission to transform the region into a global innovation hub. We hope Taara's first mesh network in Rio can serve as a blueprint for urban connectivity and inspire a more connected, intelligent, and inclusive world. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gZNAc8F2

I very much enjoyed sharing X, The Moonshot Factory's blueprint for innovation with talented business leaders at the Impact Summit in Boston last week. It was fun to share the stories and motivations behind some of our greatest hits, from Waymo’s self-driving cars to Wing’s autonomous delivery drones to Taara’s laserbeam internet. Thanks to Scott Kirsner for hosting me for an energizing, thought-provoking fireside chat about how we approach audacious thinking and build breakthrough technology that can have a lasting, positive impact on the world.
