In what seems to be the foundation of high-end internet transmission chips for the future, the X division of Alphabet, Google's parent company, has developed a silicon photonic chip, bringing about a massive leap in its Taara project.
Like any other internet chip, the Google's Taara project chip is capable of enhancing laser-based internet transmission, as reported by ProPakistani, but there's something enormously extraordinary about it.
What sets this laser internet chip apart from ordinary fiber optic cables is that it leverages laser beams to form “light bridges,” ultimately delivering internet speeds of 10 Gbps wirelessly over the air at distances of up to 1km.
The latest laser internet chip from Google's Taara project makes bulky mechanical components, such as gimbals, mirrors, and lenses, insignificant in attaining the feat it has, as the tech titan has incorporated all of them into a small chip no larger than a fingernail.
The unbelievable internet disseminating capability of Taara is well-validated given it established a connection between Brazzaville and Kinshasa across the Congo River in Africa, cutting the internet costs by five folds.
Moreover, the internet chip maker also played a vital role by augmenting bandwidth during Coachella 2024 to prove its vitality in real-world settings.
