Google is investing $1 billion in the construction of two undersea cables that will connect the US and Japan, improving digital connectivity in the region. The cables, named Proa and Taihei, will also link other strategic locations in the Pacific, including Hawaii and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (16 islands in the Mariana archipelago in the Pacific Ocean).

The investment is part of a broader effort by the US and Japan to strengthen ties and maintain their dominance in digital technologies.

Undersea cables are critical infrastructure for data transmission and communication around the world. The Proa and Taihei project will improve digital connectivity and speed up data transmission in the Pacific region.

Additional Information:

  • The cables are expected to be operational by 2026.
  • The project is being led by Google, with Japanese companies KDDI and Arteria Networks also involved.
  • The cables will have a capacity of 100 terabits per second, which is 100 times faster than current undersea cables in the region.
