Built for carrier-grade networks.
Lightbridge Pro adds robust operational capabilities to huge capacity and low latency, for faster, easier, and simpler integration into carrier-grade networks and city-wide rollouts.
Delivers full-duplex throughput over wireless optics, for carrier-grade backhaul and aggregation.
Pairs with 10 Gbps backup, with in-band management for simpler and faster deployments.
Hitless switchover to radio or fiber when atmospheric conditions impact optical performance.
How Taara Lightbridge Pro works.
Taara Lightbridge Pro uses beams of light to carry massive amounts of data between two compact terminals. Intelligent switching and multiband support are integrated directly into the terminal to maintain carrier-grade availability.
