Terabeam Networks, Inc.
 PROFILE
Terabeam Networks plans to ease the last-mile bottleneck with a new twist on wireless communications. The company has pioneered a high-speed (1 Gbps) data communications system based on free-air optical technology -- like fiber optics, but sans the fiber. Its "fiberless optics" technology transmits large chunks of data on light waves sent through space rather than along a fiber-optic cable. The laser beam system is being marketed in Seattle and Denver, and Terabeam plans to open networks in four more US cities. Founded in 1997 by chairman Greg Amadon (who led development of Terabeam's technology), Terabeam has snagged former AT&T Wireless chief Dan Hesse as CEO. Lucent Technologies is Terabeam's largest investor.
