Google has announced the implementation of a new submarine cable network between the Americas and Europe. This project, titled Americas Connect, aims to increase data capacity and create new routes for information flow.

The submarine cables Alisios, Canoa, and OlaLuz will be part of this new infrastructure, linking various points in the Americas, including direct connections to Europe. This upgrade will allow for better connectivity and greater efficiency in data transmission.

Google has not disclosed a specific completion date for this project but emphasizes the importance of these new links for data exchange between the continents.
