Meta plans to build world's longest undersea cable

(MENAFN) Tech business Meta is planning to establish the longest undersea cable worldwide, a 50,000-km (31,000-mile) project made to improve the world’s internet connection, based on British media on Tuesday.

The cable that is longer than our Planet’s circumference, will connect the United States, India, South Africa, Brazil, as well as other countries, News Agency stated.

Titled as Project Waterworth, which will build three main oceanic routes in order to improve artificial intelligence as well as developing technologies, Meta posted in a blog.

Undersea cables that bear around 95 percent of worldwide internet traffic, are regarded as the “backbone of the internet,” Sky News quoted Global Digital Inclusion Partnership.

But the access stays unstable, unequally making an impact on sidelined populations.

Meta has created more than 20 subsea cables before, whereas opponent Elon Musk is widening internet access through low-orbit satellites, based on a News agency.
