“Project Waterworth”, as the scheme is called, will be a multi-billion dollar and multi-year investment according to Meta, and will use cables with 24 fibre-pairs. Previously, cables have used between eight and 16 pairs.
The lines will be buried beneath coastal shelves to avoid being damaged by anchors.
Project Waterworth will deploy cables about twice as long as the circumference of the Earth, including in three previously unused oceanic corridors.
Meta says that the project will bolster the use of AI, digital communication, videos and online transactions.
Undersea cables carry 95% of intercontinental internet traffic, with the remainder handled by satellites.
