Google comes up with innovation/Laser technology to bring the internet

The Alphabet innovation center is developing the project named "Taara".

Through this project the company is trying to bring cheaper internet technology to remote places using laser technology.

The technology - which uses a terminal the size of a stop sign that transmits data-carrying lasers to a corresponding terminal - will provide high-speed Internet access.

This is not the first time that Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has taken the initiative to bring reliable and cheap internet to communities in rural and remote areas.

But this time, the team at tech giant X-lab's innovation center has learned from past failures.

In 2016, the lab sought to expand Internet access using stratospheric balloons, but this project was eventually shelved due to high costs.

Now they've turned to a new technology for what they call the Taara project: using well-designed terminals that transmit lasers to carry data to corresponding terminals at fixed distances—essentially fiber-optic Internet without cables.

And now telecom partners like Bharti Airtel in India are using the machines to build internet infrastructure in hard-to-reach places.

Executives from Taara and Bharti Airtel say they are now moving toward larger-scale deployment of the new laser Internet technology in India.

Beyond that, Krishnasamy adds that Taara is helping to connect internet services in 13 countries so far, including Australia, Kenya and Fiji.
