Google researchers are about to sign an invention that can radically change internet access. The company announced that they have developed a chip that can provide high -speed internet access through light rays.

This project is known by the Code name of the BAARA, and the team said in their announcement that they can turn this light -based high -speed internet a reality. The new bond chip is a “silicone photonic chip” and can direct, monitor and correct the light used for data transmission without the use of cables. In addition, this new chip is a significant advantage with its only nail length.

The working principle of BAARA is not very different from fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cables also use light to carry the data, but this light is transmitted through expensive underground cables. The association, on the other hand, transfers data using invisible light rays directly without the need for physical cables. This technology can provide data transfer at high speeds such as 20GBPS and currently transfer data over 20 kilometers.

Of course, Google is not the only company working on transporting data with light. The “Li-Fi” concept has been examined for more than ten years and has become more popular in recent years. In 2023, IEEE officially recognized this technology and began to form standards. Starlink also uses lasers to transfer data to stations on earth from the low orbit satellites.

However, the bond focuses on transferring data on earth instead of sending data from space to the ground. Light bridges can remain connected and transfer data as long as they can see each other. Google is currently working on overcoming obstacles such as birds, rain and fog. Technology is tested in the field and is actively used in areas such as supporting phone networks.
