The goal announces the Waterworth project, a giant fiber -optical cable

A few months after the finish, to build a giant fiber -optical cable, the project is already official. The technological giant announced Waterworth projectAn initiative that will strive to reconsider a global connection. He The target cable will have an extension of 50,000 km And five continents will cover.

According to the press release, Project Waterworth will the longest and fastestA field with investments of several billion dollars, the finish line will provide a high speed of connection to key regions, including the United States, India, Brazil and South Africa. The technology said her initiative Aimed at strengthening digital infrastructure and promoting AI applications All over the world.

According to the goal, Waterworth system will deploy 24 pairs of fiberSignificant progress, if we compare with other underwater cables, which have from 8 to 16 pairs. The technology said they will maximize use on deep -sea routes and use Improved burial methods in high -risk zonesWe recall that one of the main enemies of these systems is ships that lower the cable (sometimes intentionally) with an anchor.

“Underwater cable projects, such as Project Waterworth, are the basis of the global digital infrastructure. They represent more than 95% of intercontinental traffic through the world oceans, so that without problems of digital communication, video, online transaction and much more, ”the company said.

META follows Google’s steps and announces its first underwater Internet cable

In addition to technological achievements, the Waterworth project is An important step in the target strategy to achieve autonomy On all fronts. Traditionally, underwater cables were developed by consortiums of telecommunications or technological companies. Nevertheless, Waterworth notes the change, as this will be the first large underwater wiring project.

On the other hand, meter adds that Waterworth This will be a critically important mediator of applications promoted AI. Technological indicates that the growing demand for this technology requires an infrastructure that can maintain real data processing on continents. The cable is designed to offer broadband connections with a low delay.

“Thanks to Project Waterworth, we can help ensure the advantages of AI and other new technologies for everyone, regardless of where they live or work,” Meta said.

At the moment, there are no specific details of its implementation, although Meta said that Waterworth is a long -term project.
