Google will lay a submarine cable between Japan and Australia for 9,600 kilometers
According to foreign media reports, this cable will extend from Japan to Guam, and the second part will extend from Guam to Sydney, Australia. The Google project was completed with the help of Japanese technology giant NEC and Alcatel Underwater Networks and is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
Vijay Vusirikala, chief engineer of Google's network architecture, said there are many submarine cables connecting the world's major cities, such as submarine cables between New York and London, but Google's data centers are remote, such as Oregon or Southeast Asia. It is necessary to build your own cable network.
In recent years, Google has built a number of submarine cables that connect Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other regions, and also help Google improve their services. According to Vusirikala, there are currently more than 300 cables laid by major companies on the sea floor, but they are unable to meet Google's network needs, especially in the cloud computing business.
