Meta announced Project Waterworth on Feb. 14, a groundbreaking subsea cable initiative that will stretch over 50,000 km, making it the world’s longest subsea cable. India, a central part of the project, stands to benefit greatly from the enhanced infrastructure.
“In India, where we’ve already seen significant growth and investment in digital infrastructure, Waterworth will help accelerate this progress and support the country’s ambitious plans for its digital economy,” stated Meta.
Project Waterworth will deliver faster, high-capacity internet connectivity to India, boosting economic ties and supporting technological development. In addition to India, the cable will enhance connectivity across the U.S., Brazil, South Africa, and other key regions, fostering economic cooperation, digital inclusion, and technological growth.
The subsea cables, like Project Waterworth, are essential for global digital communication, carrying over 95 percent of intercontinental internet traffic. The project will open three new oceanic corridors, boosting the global digital highway and supporting innovations in AI, digital communication, and online services.
Meta’s collaboration with industry partners has led to the development of over 20 subsea cables, setting new standards with 24 fiber pairs, far surpassing the usual 8 to 16 pairs.
Project Waterworth continues this trend with advanced engineering for resilience, including deep-water cable placement and enhanced burial techniques to protect it from environmental hazards.
