Meta construiește un nou cablu submarin de fibră optică: Lung de 7.000 de kilometri, Petal ar putea transporta pe sub Atlantic până la un milion de gigabiți pe secundă

Meta plans to launch the Petal submarine fiber optic cable, stretching 7,000 kilometers, with a capacity of one petabit per second by 2029. This cable will significantly enhance data transfer capabilities, potentially allowing 75% of the global population to stream music simultaneously. Utilizing innovative dual-core fiber technology, Petal aims to double data transport capacity without increasing energy consumption. The project continues Meta's investment in global digital infrastructure, following previous initiatives like Marea and Amitie. The cable's design addresses technical challenges of long-distance signal degradation, ensuring efficient communication across the Atlantic.
