Again in November, we Break This definition – Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, with billions of users accounting For 10 % of a total of 22 % of the total mobile phone movement – it was about to announce work on a new new cable project worth $ 10 billion to connect the world. The goal was to give Meta more control of how to operate its own services.
Today, Meta confirmed our report details: Waterworth project is the official nameAnd it will be 50,000 km at completion, making it the longest at sea cable project in the world.
It has been lined with what we have heard about the project for months, the network will connect five continents to landing points in the United States, Brazil, India, South Africa and other major regions. Facebook particularly calls for opportunities in India, the role that the network will play in how to offer artificial intelligence services worldwide, as two main reasons for building network.
Regarding the network itself, Meta says that it will dismantle new reasons with its structure, using 24 pair cables of the fiber, and what it describes as a guidance of its first kind, “maximizing the cable shown in the deep water-depths of up to 7000 meters” alongside New burial techniques to reduce errors in areas that are considered “high risks”, either due to geographical issues, or politics – and sometimes both.
Previously, we have noticed that political geography is one of the main factors in the market that affects Meta to build its underlined infrastructure. He has already played a role here.
On Thursday, the White House was published Board of joint leaders From US President Trump and Prime Minister in India, Narindra Modi, who separates a long list of areas where the two countries cooperate. It was placed in that long document in compliance with the technologies of the slope in developing its participation as part of the defense partnership, in addition to a note about the Waterworth project, which is 50 thousand kilometers long, and the role of India in financing some of them.
The statement pointed out that “the support of a greater delivery in the Indian Ocean, also welcomed the leaders to announce a dead and multi -year investment in the Kabul project under the surface of the sea will start work this year.” “India intends to invest in maintenance, repair and financing of under the sea in the Indian Ocean, using reliable sellers.”
As for what will be used for the cable: In November, one of our sources assumed that the growth of artificial intelligence data centers and cloud services in India, which is the most populated country in the world, is an important reason for the Meta project in the first place.
Meta refused to comment on us on more specific details, but in its post, some high -level ideas presented the applications and highlighted the country and Amnesty International.
“Digital Communications, Video Experiences and online Transactions”, among the applications that will be able by the Subse Subse, according to The Post, which was formulated by Meta’s Vice President Nagarajan pattern And its global president of the network investments Alex-Adra Amy. “Project Waterworth will be an investment of billions of dollars, multiple years to enhance the scope and reliability of digital highways in the world by opening three new surrounding corridors with abundant and high -speed connection needed to push the innovation of artificial intelligence around the world.”
This is not the first at sea cables, as it is not the only major technology company that builds its underlined infrastructure.
According to communications analysts PotteryMeta is the owner of a part of 16 current networks, including 2AFrica cable that wins the continent (another in this project are transport companies, including Orange, Vodafone, China Mobile, Bayobab/MTN and more). This new cable project will be the first full of Meta itself.
This would put Meta in the same Google category, which has a participation in about 33 different roads, including some regional efforts in which the only owner is, for each TelegeGraphy tracking. Other major technology companies that are either owners of parts or purchases of capacity in the Under Sea Cables include Amazon and Microsoft, and there are no owners from any way themselves.
