Petal, a 4,300-mile (7,000-kilometer) undersea fiber cable will shuttle data between the U.S. and France at breakneck speeds when it comes online in 2029. The new 4,300-mile-long internet cable will shuttle data along the ocean floor at 1 million gigabits per second.
This project will be funded and operated by Meta.
Petal will also be the first commercial subsea cable system to use multi-core fiber technology. Japanese technology company NEC will be responsible for the overall design and construction of Petal, while Sumitomo Electric will provide the fiber itself.
