Google announces a $1 billion investment plan to enhance the underwater cable connection infrastructure between the United States and Japan, expanding networks in the Pacific Ocean area and adding underwater cables Proa and Taihei with endpoints in Japan. This collaboration involves partners such as KDDI, ARTERIA, Citadel Pacific, and CNMI.
The underwater cable Proa connects from NEC in Japan to the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and Guam, expanding NEC’s network that connects Taiwan-Philippines-USA (TPU) to CNMI. Meanwhile, the cable Taihei connects from NEC in Japan to Hawaii and, when linked with cable Tabua between Hawaii and the USA, will establish a more comprehensive network from the USA to Japan, improving network stability and reducing latency.
