Goal confirms a project for the largest submarine cable in the world, which will pass through Brazil

The goal confirmed rumors from the end of last year that it intends to build the largest submarine cable in the world. Officially called Waterworth Project, the cable will end up measuring more than rumors indicated, reaching 50,000km – spare size to get around the world.

The owner of Facebook has also revealed a map of the points where the cable will pass. Leaving the east coast of the United States, Waterworth has a point in northeastern Brazil, then goes to South Africa, stops in India and goes to a non -specific point near Oceania. Finally, the cable ends on the west coast of its home country.

“The Waterworth project will be a multi -year multi -billion dollar investment to strengthen the scale and reliability of the world’s digital highways, opening three new ocean corridors with high -speed abundant connectivity necessary to boost IA innovation around the world,” Say the goal in your official post.

The goal does not yet talk about values ​​for the project, as we can see in the statement above. In leaking the project, however, it was spoken of $ 10 billion, which is certainly a “multibillionaire” investment.

As the goal has just made the official announcement of the Waterworth project, the company has not yet offered many concrete details of what we can expect from the largest submarine cable in the world. We do not know, for example, the impact we can expect from its passage in Brazil.

Using India as an example, the goal says the project will “help speed up digital infrastructure progress and support the country’s ambitious plans for its digital economy.”
