OAKLAND: Singapore-based startup Transcelestial<\/a>, which makes wireless laser communications<\/a> equipment, said on Thursday it raised $10 million in a funding round led by Airbus Ventures<\/a>.
The funding will be used to boost internet infrastructure in Southeast Asia and India, Rohit Jha, CEO and co-founder of Transcelestial, said.
The high cost of putting fibre optic cables under the sea or underground is a barrier to getting poorer countries and rural America onto a speed of internet that works, Jha told Reuters.
Transcelestial's technology is basically fibre optics going wireless, Jha added. Instead of shooting light through cables, it is shot wirelessly from a device the company named Centauri<\/a> and is installed on top of buildings or cell towers.
The devices are manufactured in Singapore and the lasers can connect a distance of 2 km to 3 km to transport data.
\"The thesis back in the sixties and seventies was, eventually the size and the efficiency of the power of the lasers would reach a point where you could use lasers directly, wirelessly, to transmit data. And you don't need these fibre cables anymore,\" said Jha.
\"In the last five to six years, we have reached capabilities that allows us to do that commercially.\"
The technical challenge Transcelestial had to overcome was to build hardware that could compensate for buildings or cell tower movement to make sure the beams can hit receivers on the other end.
In addition to helping build out internet infrastructure more cheaply, wireless laser communications are more secure than using fibre optics, which can be tapped to steal data, Jha said, adding that if hackers try to intercept the laser beam, the devices just shut off.

奥克兰:新加坡创业Transcelestial,这使得无线激光通信设备,周四表示,领导的一轮融资中筹集了1000万美元空中客车公司。
资金将用于提高互联网基础设施在东南亚和印度,罗希特•Jha Transcelestial开网的CEO和创始人之一,说。
的高成本将光纤电缆海底或地下障碍让贫穷国家和美国乡村到互联网的速度工作,Jha告诉路透。
Transcelestial的技术基本上是光纤无线,Jha补充道。拍摄光通过电报,无线传输拍摄从一个设备公司命名半人马座和安装在建筑物的顶部或基站。
在新加坡和激光设备制造可以连接2公里的距离3公里来传输数据。
“论文早在六七十年代,最终的规模和效率的激光将达到一个点,你可以直接使用激光,无线传输,传输数据。你不需要这些纤维电缆了,”贾说。
“过去5到6年,我们已经达到了商业功能,允许我们这么做。”
Transcelestial必须克服的技术挑战是建立硬件能补偿建筑物或发射塔运动以确保梁可以达到接收器在另一端。
除了帮助建设互联网基础设施更便宜,比使用光纤无线激光通信更安全,可以利用窃取数据,Jha说,并补充说如果黑客试图拦截激光束,设备关闭。
