Google has announced that the third submarine cable system will be connected from Portugal to South Africa in 2021
.
Google said that the submarine cable system, called Equiano, is an important part
of Google's cable deployment.
Over the past three years, Google's investment in computing infrastructure has reached $47 billion
.
Google is a digital behemoth that needs to push a lot of information
in data centers around the world.
With operations such as Google Cloud, Google can also handle the data needs
of many other companies.
Equiano is the latest addition to Google's alphabetical cable system, named after African writer and abolitionist Olaudah Equiano, who was sold into slavery but freed himself
.
He was born in Nigeria, which may also be the first country
to extend the cable system.
Google owns 14 submarine cable projects, but Equiano is the third submarine cable
owned by Google.
The first two are Curie, from Los Angeles to Chile, and Dunant, from the eastern United States to France
.
Google says the cable uses a new data pump technology called fiber-level switching designed to transmit information
more economically.
Google's fiber-class switches use 12 pairs or more of fiber lines and use the entire line for each destination
.
"This fiber-level switching results in a more compact, cost-effective and power-efficient switching solution," Google said
.
It is estimated that it can transmit 12 terabits of data
per second per fiber on an Equiano cable.
That's about 1,200 times the maximum speed of newer computers, but submarine cables and other long-range fiber-optic lines typically send a continuous stream of data instead of the short bursts
that most computers and phones require.
Currently, Alcatel Submarine Network is installing the Equiano cable
for Google.
