Meta is building one of the world's biggest undersea cable networks—it's just one piece of a growing seafloor empire spanning 6 continents
Meta's Petal cable is the latest of more than 20 subsea projects the company has bet on as its AI push demands ever more data capacity.
Meta says Petal will be about twice as powerful as current state-of-the-art transatlantic cables, but it shouldn't require a commensurate increase in energy costs or physical infrastructure. One key technical solution is multi-core optical fiber technology. In traditional fiber, data is transmitted over a single fiber core, but in the new system, a single fiber can have multiple independent light paths. This allows more information to be transmi…

[...] The entry <h4 class="pais">Global: </h4>Meta will build the first submarine cable capable of transporting a …
The construction and installation of a new submarine cable has been announced by Meta. In the future, a 7,000-kilometer fiber optic cable could link the United States and France that could transmit up to 1,000 terabits of data per second, which could even allow three-quarters of the planet's population to stream music simultaneously.
