We are pleased to announce that Curie, a Google-owned subsea cable, has been successfully installed and tested. We are currently connecting it to Google’s network, and expect the private cable to begin transmitting data in Q2 2020, powering Google services like Gmail, Search, YouTube and Google Cloud.

How much do you know about Google’s infrastructure? What about our internet under the sea? Follow a behind-the-scenes journey of our international private subsea cable – Curie. Named after the first female Nobel Prize winner, Marie Curie, the Curie subsea cable improves Google Cloud’s network infrastructure by connecting Valparaiso, Chile with Los Angeles, California.

Equipped with four 18 Tbps fiber-optic pairs and running from the United States to Chile, Curie is 10,500 kilometers long and delivers 72 Tbps of much needed bandwidth to South America. Curie landed in Valparaiso last April, and was the first subsea cable to connect to Chile in 19 years. The historic landing was made possible in partnership with SubCom, a global partner for undersea data transport, which engineered, manufactured and installed the Curie system ahead of schedule. 

We are excited to announce we’re adding the first Curie branch into Panama. Once operational, this branch will enhance connectivity and bandwidth to Central America, and increase our ability to connect to other networks in the region, providing resiliency to our global cloud infrastructure. For seamless integration, SubCom has also been selected to supply the Curie branch to Panama.

By owning and operating our own subsea cables we can add a layer of security beyond what’s available over the public internet, and can plan effectively for the future capacity needs of our customers and users around the world. 

Commissioned in 2018, Curie was our third wholly-owned subsea cable. Since then, we’ve also commissioned Dunant, which crosses the Atlantic from the Virginia coast in the U.S. to the French coast; and Equiano, which will routes from Portugal to South Africa. Once again, we’re reminded that the cloud isn’t in the sky—it’s in the ocean.
