Google has announced that they will be commissioning three new subsea cables in 2019. Curie, a private cable connecting Chile to Los Angeles; Havfrue, a consortium cable connecting the U.S. to Denmark and Ireland; and the Hong Kong-Guam Cable system (HK-G), a consortium cable interconnecting major subsea communication hubs in Asia.
Pretty massive investment. The blog post states that Google has spent $30 billion in the last 3 years improving their infrastructure, and that their network delivers 25% of worldwide internet traffic, crazy. So why did they scrap plans to expand Google Fiber again?
These new investments expand our existing cloud network. The Google network has over 100 points of presence (map) and over 7,500 edge caching nodes (map). This investment means faster and more reliable connectivity for all our users.
