The Meta wants to go to full in detail of internet infrastructure. The mother of WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram announced the “Waterworth” project on Friday. The American group wants to build the longest cable network “with the” highest available capacity “in the world. It is said to expand five large continents and expand more than 50,000 kilometers – the Earth is longer than the scope of the Earth. The eastern coast of the United States has been planned as an early point, then landing points in Brazil, India, South Africa and Australia. From there it goes back to the west coast at the level of the Silicon Valley in the United States via Pacific. The first report of the project was already present last year.

“Project Waterworth will have multiple billion dollars of multi-year investment to strengthen the scope and reliability of the digital motorway in the world,” Write Meta Engineers in one blog postTechcrunch magazine estimates that investment costs more than $ 10 billion. Meta explains that the system will “open three new ocean cases with wide high -speed connectivity.” This is necessary to run innovations in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) worldwide. The technique is especially hungry for data. Arab users of meta services already cause about 10 percent of the total landline and 22 percent of the total mobile phone traffic.

24 pairs of fiber at a depth of 7000 meters
In technical design, the group wants to focus on the resistance of the project. 24 pair of glass fiber cables are to be used, while 8 to sixteen pairs are currently common. “In deep water” lines will be placed at a distance of 7000 meters above sea level. The company wants to use “high-risk dysfunction” such as shallow water near the coast, “to avoid damage caused by ship’s anchors and other threats”. Especially the Baltic Sea In, the cable brake has recently occurred, behind which the Western observers have doubts the sabotage by the Russian shade fleet.
Trump and Mode are behind Waterworth
Meta seems particularly important for India’s connection. The subcontinent already “records a significant increase and investment in digital infrastructure” can be found in the announcement. Waterworth should “help” to accelerate this progress and support the country’s ambitious plans for its digital economy.
White House also released one on Thursday Joint explanation US President Trump and Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi after a meeting of two politicians. As a collaboration project, it appears an agreement on the combined development of underwater technologies as part of a defense partnership in Waterworth. Hence India intends to “investing in the Indian Ocean with the help of reliable providers for the investment, repair and finance untersekabeln.
As Analysis home telegraphy Meta is already co -co -operative of 16 sea cables. It contains 2 Epherika systems, which attach the continent and first is the largest such system. There are network operators like participants Orange, Vodafone, China Mobile and Biobab/MTN. Waterworth will be the first relevant project that will completely control the meta itself. According to telezography, Google is involved in approximately 33 different relevant routes. China creates “apricots” together to avoid possible control by Facebook and Google. This is the first inner -Sanian underwater cable that belongs to Hong Kong.
