Today we are still presenting our most ambitious submarine cable efforts: Project Waterworth. Once completed, the project will reach five major continents, spanning over 50,000 km (longer than the Earth’s circumference), making it the world’s longest submarine cable project using the highest capacity technology available.
Project Waterworth brings industry-leading connectivity to the industry-leading US, India, Brazil, South Africa and other major regions. The project will enable greater economic cooperation, promote digital inclusion and open opportunities for technology development in these regions. For example, in India, which has already seen significant growth and investment in digital infrastructure, Waterworth will help accelerate this progress and support the country’s ambitious plans for the digital economy.
Subsea Cables projects such as Project Waterworth are the backbone of global digital infrastructure and beyond 95% of intercontinental transport Seamlessly enable digital communications, video experiences, online transactions and more across the world’s oceans. Project Waterworth will be dozens of new marine corridors to enhance the size and reliability of the world’s digital highways by opening up three new marine corridors with the rich and high speed connectivity needed to promote AI innovation around the world This is a multi-year investment of $100 million.
Over the past decade, we have driven infrastructure innovation with a variety of partners. developing Over 20 Undersea cable. This includes multiple deployments of industry-leading subsea cables with 24 fiber pairs compared to the typical 8-16 fiber pairs of other new systems. These investments allow for unparalleled connectivity to the growing digital needs of our world.
Project Waterworth allows you to continue your engineering design to maintain cable resilience, building the world’s longest 24-fiber pair cable project, increasing the overall speed of deployment. We also deploy the initial apple routing, maximize cables laid in the deep sea at depths of up to 7,000 meters, and enhance burial techniques in high-risk fault areas such as shallow waters near the coast to avoid them. I’m using it. Damage caused by ship anchors or other hazards.
AI is revolutionizing every aspect of our lives, from the way we interact with each other to our thinking about infrastructure. Meta is at the forefront of building these innovative technologies. As AI continues to transform industries and societies around the world, it is clear that capabilities, resilience and global reach are more important than ever to support key infrastructure. With Project Waterworth, the benefits of AI and other emerging technologies can be made accessible to anyone, regardless of where they live or work.
