Alphabet's Wireless Broadband Spinoff Takes the Scenic Route
Published on HivePostify by @teamhumble · Fri Aug 21 2026
Taara, which spun out of Alphabet in March 2025. Their current enterprise product, Lightbridge (and the newer Lightbridge Pro), does up to 20 Gbit/s over distances up to 12 miles, using mirrors, sensors and predictive algorithms to keep the beams locked on each other (not actual hardware) super cool

Español: Taara, que se separó de Alphabet en marzo de 2025. Su producto empresarial actual, Lightbridge (y el más nuevo Lightbridge Pro), logra hasta 20 Gbit/s en distancias de hasta 12 millas, utilizando espejos, sensores y algoritmos predictivos para mantener los haces bloqueados entre sí (no es hardware real) algo realmente genial.

বাংলা: টাআরা, যা মার্চ ২০২৫ সালে অ্যালফাবেট থেকে আলাদা হয়েছিল। তাদের বর্তমান এন্টারপ্রাইজ পণ্য, লাইটব্রিজ (এবং নতুন লাইটব্রিজ প্রো), ১২ মাইল পর্যন্ত দূরত্বে ২০ জিবিট/সেকেন্ড পর্যন্ত পারে, আয়না, সেন্সর এবং প্রেডিক্টিভ অ্যালগরিদম ব্যবহার করে বিমগুলোকে একে অপরের সাথে লক করে রাখে (আসল হার্ডওয়্যার না) সত্যি দারুণ।
