Meta aims to unite with a 50,000 -kilometer submarine cable Four continents to boost economic cooperation and digital inclusion, as well as to strengthen the “digital highways” of the world.
Waterworth Project It is the “most ambitious” initiative of Meta to take the Internet to everyone with an underwater cable of more than 50,000 kilometers, a length higher than the circumference of the Earth, as the company has pointed out.
This cable will join four of the main continents (America, Africa, Oceania and Asia) in six connection points, and will use the most available capacity technology, according to a press release.
The subamarine cable a It will have 24 pairs of fibers and will use “a pioneer routing in its kind” to be able to achieve A depth of up to 7,000 meters. It will also take into account the location of the cable to avoid high -risk failures, such as those that occur in shallow areas close to the coast through which ships navigate.
It is a plurianial project that has an “multimillionaire investment“, which seeks to” strengthen the scale and reliability of digital highways in the world by opening three new oceanic corridors with abundant and high speed connectivity necessary to boost innovation in artificial intelligence worldwide. ”
“This project will allow greater economic cooperation, will facilitate digital inclusion y will open opportunities for development technological In these regions, “they bet from the finish line.
