Google to Build Sub-Sea Fibre Optic Cable From Vancouver to Japan
Thursday, April 14, 2022
Vancouver, BC, April 14, 2022--Google is planning to lay a cable the width of a garden house, and carrying 16 pairs of fibre-optical wires, from Vancouver to Japan.
According to a blog post from Bikash Koley, Google's head of technology and strategy, the sub-sea cable will be the first to connect Canada to Asia and will be called Topaz.
The cable, about the width of a garden hose, will travel from Vancouver to Port Alberni and then to two points in Japan — the Ibaraki and Mie regions.
Koley wrote that the cable will be ready for service in 2023.
