Meta announced the most ambitious submarine cable project that will connect 5 continents. With this giant project, which is called Project Waterworth, the company will open three new ocean corridors with plenty of high -speed connections to promote artificial intelligence innovation worldwide. According to Meta, this multi -year and billions of dollars will be an important step to support artificial intelligence (AI) innovations worldwide.

5 continents and 50 thousand kilometers

In recent months, there were rumors that Meta had planned to lay a global submarine cable network. Now, the company has approved the allegations by announcing the Waterworth project, which will cover more than 50,000 kilometers and reach five continents.

The Waterworth Project aims to increase the connection for important regions such as the United States, India, Brazil, South Africa. Meta has committed a significant investment to reinforce the reliability of existing submarine infrastructures and to open three new ocean corridors at the same time. In this way, the global internet infrastructure is intended to become more efficient and faster.

In the last decade, Meta has carried out more than 20 submarine cable projects in the last decade, and in these projects, it has greatly increased the capacity of its networks by using cables containing 24 fiber optic lines. The company plans to use the same technology used in submarine cables containing 24 fiber optic lines in the Waterworth project. It should also be noted that traditional submarine cables are generally used 8 to 16 fiber optic lines. In addition, a new cable flooring solution will be used in this project that can go deep to 7,000 meters of the sea. In shallow waters in the coastal areas, special burial techniques will be applied in order to protect cables from dangers such as ship anchors.
