Meta Will Build the World’s Longest Undersea Cable
Meta's Waterworth Project will provide internet connectivity on five continents, with landing points in India, the United States, Brazil, and South Africa.
Last week, President Donald Trump and India's prime minister Shri Narendra Modi issued a joint statement on cooperation between the two countries. "Supporting greater Indian Ocean connectivity, the leaders also welcomed Meta’s announcement of a multibillion, multiyear investment in an undersea cable project that will begin work this year and ultimately stretch over 50,000 km to connect five continents and strengthen global digital highways in the Indian Ocean region and beyond," the statement released by the White House said. Meta claims to have improved its burial techniques in high-risk areas, such as shallow near-shore waters, to reduce the risk of damage from ship anchors and other external factors.
