Meta is constructing the Petal transatlantic fiber optic cable connecting the United States and France. This new cable is designed to deliver a data transmission speed of one million gigabits per second. Upon completion, anticipated in 2029, the infrastructure promises significantly enhanced data capacity. According to Meta, the cable will be capable of supporting 75% of the world’s population simultaneously streaming music without experiencing congestion. The project represents a substantial investment in global internet infrastructure. The Petal cable aims to meet the growing demand for high-bandwidth connectivity between the United States and France, and beyond.
