Tara’s general manager, Krishwami, says the next phase of development is a small silicon photon chip that will eliminate the need for many mirrors and lenses of the terminals and allow several contacts with a transmitter. Light -based chip units can potentially replace radio -based Wi -Fi networks under the line in the office, so -called Lee Fi.
Tara has a long journey before competing with SpaceX’s star link, with 7,000 satellite earning $ 9.3 billion from an estimated estimate from 4.7 million consumers last year.
Although Musk’s business sells direct subscriptions to consumers, Tara has contributed with large telecommunications companies such as Indian Aerial and T -Mobile, in which its primary fiber optic networks are expanded to remote locations or in dense urban areas where cables are expensive or impossible.
“Think of it as a backbone that helps enhance and accelerate the current infrastructure that is there,” said Krishwami.
Taylor and Krishwami claim that Tara has more technical benefits than the star link. The satellites of the muscle use radio signals that move a limited amount of bandwidth into a fixed area, so more and more people in this place mean that a small amount of signals available for each one are available, which reduces the overall speed.
It makes the star link the most effective in remote areas or in cruise ships and airlines, but is unable to cope with wired fiber-or light-based systems in cities on its current capacity.
In addition, TARA terminals can be strapped in poles, trees or buildings in hours instead of blowing up rockets, and no radio spectrum has been done. Laser beams can cross without interference in which radio frequency is encountered.
“Contact is a big problem … there are still 3 billion people left,” said Krishnawami, an enmity with the star link. “I think in reality we have a lot of room for both of us.”
Taylor said that as more and more people come online, the world will be eliminated from traditional radio frequency band and will have to move forward with an electromagnetic spectrum.
Taylor said, “If you can know how the first business can be made that starts transmitting data through light, once the whole world moves to this section of the spectrum, we think Tara is really going to a good place,” Taylor said, “Taylor added,” This is a skating. “
