Google is partnering with Facebook , Pacific Light Data Communications , and TE Subcom to work up amassive , super - fast undersea cableconnecting Los Angeles to Hong Kong .
Google says this is the first lineal submarine cable system between LA and Hong Kong with tops - fast capacity . How fast is it ? The Google Blog sound out :
The Pacific Light Cable connection ( PLCN ) will have 12,800 kilometer of fibre and an estimated cable content of 120 Tbps , making it the highest - capacity trans - Pacific itinerary , a record presently held by another Google - backed cable television system , FASTER . In other words , PLCN will provide enough capacity for Hong Kong to have 80 million cooccurring HD telecasting group discussion calls with Los Angeles — an example ofGoogle Cloud Platformhaving the largest internet keystone of any public cloud provider .
place data at 120 Tbps between Hong Kong and Los Angeles is no small exploit . The submarine cable thatMicrosoft and Facebook are buildingbetween Virginia and Spain is libertine , but it ’s also about half the space .
Google now has and possession stake in six submarine cables . more and more , technical school companies areinvesting in this kind of infrastructure , in part because the swarm backends that these fellowship require exploiter to use pauperism to have honest , immobile connections . Otherwise , more bandwidth will hopefully intend that citizenry in Hong Kong can swarm YouTube from LA server just a little bit faster .
