What would 50 years from now look like that I would absolutely love to live in? And then in that future, what is the thing I care about? Then walking backwards from there, seeing how you can make it happen,\u201d shared Co-founder &amp; CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rohitrj\/\">Rohit Jha<\/a> of 500-backed superfast Internet company <a href=\"https:\/\/transcelestial.com\/\">Transcelestial<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That\u2019s how the team built a shoebox-sized device named Centauri to distribute connectivity via lasers. Currently, more than 90% of the world\u2019s data is transmitted through a vast network of fiber optic cables running under the oceans and across continents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, affordability and accessibility are major issues \u2014 fiber optics take a lot of money and time to deploy. \u201cWhy not use wireless fiber optics or laser technology,\u201d poses Rohit. What\u2019s more, laser tech can be set up within a day rather than months or years like fiber optics and at one-tenth the cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Centauri also has a built-in AI system that analyzes in real-time the level of signal damage caused by the weather and responds by adjusting the laser power needed to keep the connection stable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the past, laser tech has been limited to defence companies with millions in R&amp;D budget. But over the last 8 years, Transcelestial\u2019s rise in the industry has set them on the path to build the world\u2019s largest manufacturing line for commercial laser communications technology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some advice he offered: \u201cAs leaders and founders, you have to grow faster than the company. The three fastest ways to do this are to read as much as possible, hire an executive coach to understand what areas you\u2019re lacking in and build a network.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He added, \u201cNot all advice is good advice. You have to understand what advice is applicable when and if it is applicable to the company you want to build.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full story on <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4fH7cMa\">Tatler<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking limits with laser beams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5499,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[397],"class_list":["post-5498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-transcelestial"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
