The Waterworth project represents an investment of several billions of dollars, which aims to strengthen the “Digital Highway” from the world, opening 3 new ocean corridors. High -speed connectivity will contribute to boosting AI innovation (artificial intelligence) globally.
Over the past 10 years, infrastructure innovation has seen the development of more than 20 submarine cables. The Waterworth project will feature the construction of the 24 -pair cable project of the longest fiber in the world. In addition, you should use more advanced burial techniques in high -risk areas.
