Jan, 12, 2024 Hi-network.com

The first-ever subsea cable linking South America and the Indo-Pacific region is being built by Google, connecting Chile with Australia via French Polynesia. This subsea cable, named 'Humboldt', is the latest in more than a dozen similar subsea cables that Google has invested in since 2010. The project is expected to improve data transfers around the world and work in tandem with Google's other infrastructure projects, including local data centres on the ground in Chile. The project is anticipated to be completed by 2026, the project is expected to significantly enhance global Internet reach, reliability, and resilience by establishing a trusted and secure route across the Pacific.

The Humboldt subsea cable route exemplifies a commercially viable, multi-stakeholder approach to information and communications technology development. This initiative is poised to generate economic opportunities in Chile and beyond. By combining undersea cables with secure 5G wireless terrestrial networks, the project aims to expedite digital connectivity and integration with the global economy for South America and the Pacific Island nations.
