Project Waterworth

Meta launched Project Waterworth, a subsea internet cable to improve connectivity in the U.S., India, Brazil, South Africa, and other regions, which was announced following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the U.S. and is expected to be operational by 2039.

• The Artificial Intelligence(AI)-powered subsea cable system spans 50,000 km across five continents, connecting the S., India, Brazil, South Africa, and other key regions.
• It will be the longest and highest-capacity subsea cable, with cables laid at depths up to 7,000 meters and protected in shallow waters using advanced burial techniques.
• India will invest in maintaining and repairing undersea cables in the Indian Ocean for the project.

The project will create three new oceanic corridors, boosting the scale and reliability of internet networks and fostering international cooperation, digital inclusion, and technological progress.
