has already tried and failed to bring internet access to rural and remote areas by using high-altitude balloons in the stratosphere.The project known as Taara is part of Alphabet's innovation lab called X, also nicknamed the "Moonshot Factory.
Taara's machine is the size of traffic lights that beam the laser carrying the data - essentially fiber-optic internet without the cables. Partners like Airtel use the machines to build out communications infrastructure in hard-to-reach places.A terminal device to deliver internet with mirrors and lasers created by Taara, a project in Alphabet's so-called 'moonshot factory' X, is seen in a lab in Mountain View, California, U.S. June 22, 2023.
X is Alphabet's research division that takes on projects bordering on science-fiction. It gave rise to self-driving technology firm Waymo, drone delivery service Wing and health tech startup Verily Life Sciences.Bharti Airtel's chief technology officer, Randeep Sekhon, said Taara will also help deliver faster internet service in urban areas in developed countries. He said it is less expensive to beam data between buildings than to bury fiber-optic cables.
