Airtel 5G Expansion Plans

Airtel has been at the forefront of technological advancements, and the recent announcement of Airtel 5G Plus on the Kochi water metro route, India’s first water metro, showcases the same. As part of its 5G expansion plans, Airtel has already made its 5G service available in over 3500 cities and towns across India, with a goal to cover every town and key rural area by September 2023.

Overcoming Infrastructure Challenges with Taara’s Technology

However, deploying 5G technology across all terrains and locations poses challenges, including the limitations of cable-based infrastructure and the associated costs. To overcome these barriers and extend fast and affordable internet to more people, Airtel has partnered with Taara to deploy wireless optical communication links.

Taara’s High-speed, long-range technology

Taara’s wireless optical communication links utilize beams of light to deliver high-speed and high-capacity connectivity over long distances. Similar to traditional fibre optic cables, Taara’s technology uses light to transmit data, achieving speeds of up to 20 Gbps. These narrow, invisible beams of light create a link between two Taara terminals, establishing a reliable connection.

Taara’s high-speed, long-range technology utilizes wireless optical communication to transmit data at speeds of up to 20 Gbps bidirectional throughput, covering distances of up to 20 km with a clear line of sight.

This technology offers network operators and service providers the flexibility to swiftly deploy and redeploy Taara links for various purposes, including extending fibre backhaul, augmenting radio backhaul, enhancing network resilience, navigating challenging terrains, establishing high-capacity backbone connections, and ensuring redundancy paths.
