The global internet traffic is expected to grow by 24 percent annually. Fiber optics can remedy growth, but the roll-out of fiber networks is time-consuming and expensive.

Google's parent company Alphabet has developed a wireless 20 Gbps + broadband link that can save us too much trench.

FSOC can create a 20 Gbps + broadband link between two points with a clear sight line
In January, Alphabet ended "Project Loon", an initiative that examined the use of stratospheric helium balloons to distribute wireless internet (an attempt to use solar power drones ended in 2017).

 

Part of the technology developed in the Loon project has been continued, especially "Free Space Optical Communications" (FSOC) that was originally intended to connect the high-flying balloons. Now, this technology is active in use and delivers high-speed broadband to people in Africa.

 

Wireless optical connection over the Congo Flood
FSOC can create a 20 Gbps + broadband link between two points with a clear sightline. Alphabet's Moonshot Laboratory X has built up Project Taara to give FSOC a chance. They started establishing connections in India a few years ago and had a couple of pilot projects in Kenya.

 

Yesterday revealed X that they have created wireless optical connection across the Congo Flood from Brazzaville and Kinshasa respectively the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

700 TB of data on twenty days
The leader of Project Taara Baris Erkmen, says that the compound supplemented the fiber compounds used by the local telecommunications eConet, with 700 TB of data on twenty days.

 

The reason why they test the technology of this place is not just the climate that, according to Project Taara, is better suited for wireless optical communication than misty big cities, but the obstacles the river represents. Brazzaville and Kinshasa are just a few miles apart, but a fiber compound between them must be placed in a loop of almost 400 kilometers.

 

99.9 percent availability
Despite the fact that Taara's communication is not protected by physical fiber, says Taara that the connection had 99.9 percent availability during the test period and end-users could not distinguish between communication on FSOC and fiber.

 

Taara also did not experience weather conditions that affected the connection. The compound adjusts the laser effect along the way and turned out to have great resistance to haze, light rain, birds, and other obstacles, and that peking and tracking is improved.

 

 

Project Taara compounds must, of course, be placed high since they must be able to see each other, and as you can see in the GIF above, they automatically adjust the mirrors so that "a light beam strikes a measure of five centimeters that are ten kilometers away".

If any reason, the system can be remotely controlled before sending technicians.
