With 12 pairs of fiber, the cable will transport traffic quickly and securely between North and South America, giving users fast, low-latency access to Google products like Search, Gmail and YouTube, as well as Google Cloud services,” Google mentions in its official blog. The internet company explained that to ensure the operability of the project it will be essential to ensure the power supply of a single end, since, “with the submarine cables, the data travels like pulses of light within the optical fibers of the cable, which is amplified every 100 km with a high voltage electric current supplied in the landing stations of each country”Since unlike shorter cables that can have of a higher power supply, achieving it with longer cables with a greater number of fibers makes it more difficult. Despite the announcement, so far no further details of the construction process have been released, nor the date on which Firmina is expected to connect the two ends of the American continent.
