Project Tara, a potential star link rival rival, Google’s parents’ alphabet to become their company.
On Monday, Tara formally graduated from the alphabet “Moon Shot Factory” after working as a research project for at least five years. The new company is recruiting internet service providers to deploy its technology, promising to provide high -speed Internet in rural and remote areas.
The company said in Monday’s announcement, “Similarly, the fiber optic cables in the ground use light to carry data, uses tight, invisible light beams to transmit information through the air, which speeds up up to 20 gigabits per second.” Tara also noted that he was checking his technology with T -Mobile and Vodafone.

Tara is targeting the same markets, such as Space X Star Link, which has already attracted more than 5 million users worldwide. But instead of using the dizziness satellites, the planet plans to use Earth -based light beams that can reach the speed of the Gigabit Internet.
