2020: Start of works on construction of the submarine cable from the USA to Europe for the fast Internet
At the end of July, 2020 Google began to pull submarine 32-cabled fibers from the USA to Europe for providing the fast Internet. This project called in honor of the American programmer Grace Hopper will connect the USA to Great Britain and Spain.
Google is going to lay more than 4830 km of the transatlantic submarine cable by 2022. The Grace Hopper cable will connect New York to Kornuell in Great Britain and to the city of Bilbao in the north of Spain. The distance from New York to the city of Byyud in Cornwall makes about 3290 miles (5300 km). The new cable will become the first transatlantic route laid to Spain.
Google claims that it will use a new method of laying which will allow to make a new route even more well-tried remedy of communication, than the existing fiber optic cables. The Grace Hopper cable will consist of 16 couples of fibers (32 fibers) and 340-350 terabyte of data per second - are configured on transfer according to Google, it is equivalent to the information volume which would be received by 17.5 million people at the same time at broadcast of 4K-video.
 | In Grace Hopper the new technology on the basis of optical fiber which will allow to increase reliability of global communications will be used and more effectively to compensate traffic during interruptions, - the staff of Google notes. |  |
Google already has three private submarine cables: Curie, Dunant and Equiano. Already operating Curie cable lies along the western coast of the USA from Los Angeles to Valparaiso in Chile, stopping in Panama. Dunant stretches from Virginia Scourge in the USA to France and, as expected, will begin to work even before the termination of 2020. Equiano there passes from Portugal along the western coast of Africa to Cape Town, South Africa. Its laying, as expected, will be complete in 2021.[1]
