Meta has officially announced Project Waterworth, a 50,000-km subsea cable that will link the U.S., Brazil, India, and South Africa, among other regions.
This marks the company’s first fully owned subsea infrastructure project, expanding beyond its previous partnerships in global connectivity efforts.
Meta describes Waterworth as the longest 24 fiber pair cable project in the world. The company is using an advanced routing method to place cables as deep as 7,000 meters to protect against undersea hazards such as anchor damage.
While Meta has not detailed specific applications, it emphasized that subsea cables enable digital communication, video experiences, online transactions, and AI-driven innovations. The company’s platforms currently account for 10% of global fixed internet usage and 22% of mobile traffic, underscoring the potential benefits of a more stable and high-speed connection.
A U.S.-India joint statement welcomed the announcement, noting India’s intent to help finance and maintain undersea cables in the Indian Ocean. However, Meta clarified that India is not involved in the financing of Project Waterworth.
