Facebook said on Monday it planned two new undersea cables to connect Singapore, Indonesia, and North America in a project with Google to boost internet connection capacity between the regions.
Named Echo and Bifrost, those will be the first two cables to go through a new diverse route crossing the Java Sea and they will increase overall subsea capacity in the trans-pacific by about 70%.
