WHY GOOGLE IS SPENDING BIG ON UNDERSEA CABLES

It will mark the tech giant’s first-ever route to Spain, Google Global Network Vice President Bikash Koley wrote.

The cable will bring “increasing capacity on this busy global crossroads” and help power “Google services like Meet, Gmail and Google Cloud,” Koley wrote.

The Grace Hopper will have 16 fiber pairs, or 32 fibers, which Koley describes as “a significant upgrade to the internet infrastructure connecting the U.S. with Europe.”
