Taara is an optical wireless communications company that spun out of Alphabet's X moonshot factory in 2025. Its Taara Lightbridge terminals transmit data at up to 20 gigabits per second over a narrow beam of light across distances of up to 20 kilometres, giving telecom operators and internet providers a fibre alternative where trenching cable is too slow or costly, and it develops photonic chips to shrink the system. The company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, United States.
About the Team:
Born at X, Google's Moonshot Factory, Taara is on a mission to connect billions of people lacking abundant and affordable internet today by pioneering the way we use light to deliver faster, cheaper, more reliable connectivity. Lead the charge in bringing our groundbreaking wireless optical communication and photonics chip technologies to the world. Drive our growth story as we scale innovative solutions across the world. Join us to light the way for bridging the digital divide and illuminating the future.
