Meta is preparing to launch a major project that will support artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. The company will connect 5 continents underwater with cables as part of the Waterworth project. Tech giant Meta is planning to lay 50,000 kilometers of underwater cable worldwide. Once completed, the “Project Waterworth” connecting the U.S., India, South Africa, Brazil, and other regions will be announced as the world’s longest underwater cable project. Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, aims to expand its presence in the technology sector beyond social media to include artificial intelligence and supporting infrastructure. The company stated that the new cable project will provide “industry-leading connectivity” to 5 major continents and support artificial intelligence projects. In Meta’s blog post on the subject, it was mentioned that “This project will enable greater economic collaboration in these regions, facilitate digital participation, and create opportunities for technological advancement.” Submarine cables are becoming increasingly important as they provide power to various digital services and enable rapid data transfer worldwide.
