Portable solution supports major studios such as Amazon, Netflix, and Disney, allowing directors and crew members to digitally collaborate in real-time during a shoot using light-based connectivity instead of relying on cable-based infrastructure.
Sunnyvale, CA – April 14, 2026 – Taara, a graduate of X, Google’s Moonshot Factory, today announced that its light-based wireless optical connectivity (WOC) technology will power Cintegral’s ST 2110 Fiber-over-Air solution, enabling real-time TV and media production workflows on remote sets where cable-based infrastructure is unfeasible. In remote production environments, footage often has to be stored locally and physically carried to post for transfer, processing, and archive. Taara Lightbridge creates a high-capacity wireless bridge between those locations, allowing production teams to move data in real time across sites without laying an inch of cable.
Cintegral, a production technology specialist working with leading studios and streaming platforms such as Disney, Netflix, and Amazon Studios, has been validating Taara Lightbridge as part of the new ST 2110 Fiber over the Air offering. According to Cintegral, it seamlessly enables real-time streaming of high-resolution 4K JPEGXS and 8K RAW data between on location and production crews elsewhere on site, helping Directors, DOPs, DITs, Dailies, Editors, VFX, Broadcasters, and technical teams collaborate during a shoot rather than waiting until each shoot day has wrapped.
Taara will co-exhibit at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show 2026 alongside Cintegral, Cree8, and Lumen, demonstrating how wireless optical connectivity can support real-time media and entertainment production workflows. At the show, Taara and its partners will run a live Taara Lightbridge link from a nearby hotel rooftop into the exhibition booth, giving attendees a real-world look at how high-bandwidth, low-latency, light-based connectivity can be deployed quickly in environments where traditional infrastructure is difficult, slow, or impractical to extend.
“You shouldn’t have to dig or lay miles of fiber just to tell a great story. With Taara, we aren’t building networks – we’re beaming them. We’re giving production teams the power to deploy fiber-class connectivity out of thin air, exactly when and where the shoot demands it,” said Mahesh Krishnaswamy, Founder and CEO of Taara.
The collaboration with Cintegral marks an important step in Taara’s commercial story, showing how wireless optical connectivity can move beyond traditional telecom use cases and into enterprise environments with intense demands for throughput, mobility, and real-time collaboration. In this case, the focus is on media production, where teams increasingly need to move large volumes of high-resolution video between locations quickly and reliably, without waiting for fixed-line buildouts or relying on physically transporting storage media.
“Our goal with ST 2110 Fiber-over-Air is to bring high-performance production workflows to any environment, without being limited by location,” said Dane Brehm, CEO, at Cintegral. “What Taara’s technology enables us to do is extend that capability to places where connectivity would normally be a bottleneck, allowing real-time collaboration between crews, directors, and editors on set.”
The collaboration builds on momentum from the 2026 HPA Tech Retreat, widely regarded as a forum for leaders across media technology, engineering, and content creation to explore emerging technologies and trends. At the event, Cintegral showcased Taara Lightbridge and generated early interest in the use of wireless optical connectivity for advanced production workflows.
Taara Lightbridge is designed to deliver fiber-like speeds through the air using narrow beams of light, creating links that can be installed quickly and without the trenching, spectrum licensing, or long lead times associated with conventional infrastructure. The NAB showcase will give attendees a practical demonstration of how that model can support demanding enterprise workflows in the field, including private wireless and production environments where performance and deployment speed are both critical.
The GSMA has already expressed interest in developing a formal case study around the deployment model, underscoring the relevance of wireless optical connectivity in private network environments where bandwidth, flexibility, and total cost of deployment are becoming key differentiators.
The NAB Show 2026 runs April 18-22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with exhibits open April 19-22. Visitors attending the event will be able to see the live demonstration at Booth W3101 in the West Hall.
