`What You Guys Need to Know About this Amazing Update, Meta's Plan to setup Longest Cable Through Water`¿ *Project Waterworth is Meta's plan to build a giant, 50,000-kilometer-long internet cable under the sea* This cable will connect five continents, including the US, India, Brazil, and South Africa, making internet connections faster and more reliable in these regions. Here's what makes it special: * *Longest cable* : It's going to be the world's longest subsea cable project * *Deep-sea routing* : The cable will be laid as deep as 7,000 meters to protect it from damage. * *High capacity* : It uses 24 fiber pairs, which means it can carry a lot more data than most other cables. * *AI-driven* : Meta is using artificial intelligence to improve how the cable is set up and maintained. > Meta is investing billions of dollars in this project to improve global internet connectivity and support the growing demand for AI technologies. They're also working on better ways to bury the cables, especially in areas where they could be easily damaged. By the end of the decade, Project Waterworth aims to make AI technologies more accessible worldwide and boost the digital economies of the countries it connects.
