Meta’s Project Waterworth is an ambitious project to connect five continents and support digital innovation and the spread of artificial intelligence.
Meta has announced Project Waterworth, a submarine cable project that, once completed, will span more than 50,000 km. Connecting five continents and becoming the longest submarine cable in the world.
The project, which represents a multi-year, billion-dollar investment, will connect the United States, India, Brazil, South Africa and other key regions. Aiming to improve connectivity, facilitate digital inclusion and open up new opportunities for technology development. Waterworth will use the highest capacity technology available, with 24 fiber pairs. To ensure unparalleled connectivity and support the world’s growing digital needs.
The Project Waterworth
According to Meta, Project Waterworth is essential to the global digital infrastructure, as submarine cables account for more than 95% of intercontinental traffic. The company hopes the project will open three new ocean corridors, improving the speed and reliability of the so-called “digital highways”. Meta has already developed more than 20 submarine cables in the last decade, helping to build the backbone of the Internet.
The company emphasizes the importance of this project for AI innovation. Which is transforming the way we interact and work. “Project Waterworth will provide the capacity, resilience and global reach needed to help leading infrastructure and make the benefits of Artificial intelligence (AI)accessible to everyone, regardless of their geographic location,” the release reads.https://youtube.com/shorts/euU867qEUII?si=ppOETyLdH–V6bES
