Meta’s record-breaking undersea cable to stretch 50,000 km, the world’s longest cable that will outrun Earth’s circumference; here are all details

Meta is currently planning on developing an undersea cable that will extend more than 50,000 kilometers, connecting the US with India to develop a better communication network and accelerate AI innovation, according to the latest Business Insider report. Meta has recently revealed details about this potential project in a latest blog post, mentioning that this new Waterworth Project will cover over 50,000 kilometers or about 31,000 miles, that will be bigger than the Earth's entire circumference in the first place.

Waterworth Project to enhance AI innovation

This Waterworth Project aims to connect different continents together, especially the US with India, for starters. Even though Meta has not revealed the exact cost involved in the project, a hint has been dropped that the costs could be in multi-billion dollars, which would go on for the coming years. These subsea cables could prove to be extremely beneficial for the development of AI and its innovation, as Mark Zuckerberg's company puts it focus on generative AI.

This Waterworth Project will help enhance the communication capabilities of existing channels by miles, and the technique with which these cables would be laid will help them stay resilient in the face of any adversity, including damage from ship anchors or any potential hazards.
