The cable, called Firmina, will be the longest cable in the
world, Google said in a blog post, adding that it will run from the East Coast
of the United States to Las Toninas, Argentina, with additional landings in
Praia Grande, Brazil, and Punta del Este, Uruguay.
"Firmina will improve access to Google services for
users in South America. With 12 fiber pairs, the cable will carry traffic
quickly and securely between North and South America, giving users fast,
low-latency access to Google products such as Search, Gmail and YouTube, as
well as Google Cloud services," Google said.
The announcement also comes amid a surge in demand for
internet and cloud services as the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed more work,
shopping and entertainment online. -Reuters
