High-speed connectivity: fibre… without digging
As an official Taara partner and installer, Katesha deploys Taara Lightbridge, a wireless optical communication (WOC) technology that carries very high-speed data on a beam of light from one point to another.
Key figures
20 Gbit/s
full-duplex throughput
0.4–20 km
range per link
~40 W
typical power per terminal
Licence-free
infrared band, no spectrum licence
Key benefits
Fast deployment
On poles, towers or rooftops – no trenching required.
Seamless integration
With existing fibre and IP infrastructure.
Ideal for obstacles
Rivers, forests, complex road networks, hilly terrain or dense areas.
Extended reach
Through successive relays.
Use cases
1
Rural backhaul
Quickly connect a rural site, digital centre or public facility to the nearest fibre point of presence.
2
Network extension
Cross an obstacle or extend a network without waiting for fibre works.
3
Redundancy
Build a physically separate backup path for a critical fibre link.
4
Site interconnection
Link schools, government offices or business sites within the same area.
Typical architecture
A simple, modular and replicable design, from the point of presence to users.

Users & servicesImpact
Rigorous engineering
- Line-of-sight (LOS) survey and mounting-point stability.
- Weather and availability analysis, link-length selection.
- IP, capacity, power and physical-security sizing.
- Multi-hop relays, off-grid power and radio/fibre backup paths depending on site criticality.
- Acceptance testing and documentation before going live.
As weather conditions can affect an optical link, site surveys and redundancy are built into our approach.
