Google's new plan released in UK, US and Spain
The tech giant says it is incorporating new technology into the cable, which they claim is a significant upgrade to the old existing line.
The project is completed by 2022.
Google estimates that underwater data cables are important for global communications, which contain about 98% of the world's information.
Cables are usually made by telecommunications companies - usually a group of them pulling sources - which are then charged to use other companies.
The latest cable, called "Grace Ha Ce Par", after the American computer scientist and Admiral behind the Navy, will hit the UK at Bude in Cornwall. It is Google's fourth privately owned undersea cable
But Google needs "increasing amounts of transatlantic bandwidth," said John Delaney, a telecommus analyst at IDC.
“Creating its own cables helps them choose the best cable route,” he said, and is close to data centers.
Jane Stowell, who oversees the construction of Google's undersea cable projects, told the BBC she needed an internet connection that could be relied upon.
Under the sea
The first transatlantic telecommunications cable was built in 1858, connecting Ireland and the U.S. Was connected by telegraph.
About 750,000 Its connection to communication and entertainment continues today - enough to run about 17 times worldwide.
Cables are required to withstand major hazards, including earthquakes and heavy currents, and have a lifespan of about 25 years.
But Ms Stowell says some transatlantic cables are "out of service and we need newer, better and more sophisticated technology."
Google and Facebook are very powerful, says Watchdog
Google has announced an investment of Rs 10 billion in India
Google has yet to build a cable that has landed in mainland China, where its services are banned by the state, and Ms Stowell said she has no plans to build one in the near future.
"We understand being an American company and we understand the legitimacy of what we must comply with." But he pointed out that the Asian market was bigger than China.
He also noted the growing apprehension that the world could soon see two Internet sites: one controlled by the West and the other controlled by China.
Wave of demand
Internet use has skyrocketed around the world since the Covid-19 ban was introduced. In April, com Fakom revealed that UK adults spent a quarter of their waking day online during the lockdown.
As the demand for high-speed internet grows worldwide, companies continue to find ways to reach more customers.
And Google is not alone in acquiring ownership of critical data infrastructure.
For example, Micros.ft and Facebook are co-owners of telecom company, Terexius, Maria Cable, which is based in the U.S. Runs from to Spain.
In May, Facebook announced another project to build 37,000 kilometers (23,000 miles) of undersea cable to provide fast internet in 16 countries in Africa.
Ready for use by 2024, it will triple the capacity of all existing undersea cables serving the room.
Africa lags behind the rest of the world in terms of internet access, with only four out of 10 people accessing the web.
However, with a population of 1.3 billion, it has become a major emerging market for many industries.
