Facebook and Google plans to launch 2 new undersea internet cables from US West Coast to Singapore and Indonesia

Technology giant Facebook and Google have planned to lay two huge subsea cables, called Echo and Bifrost, to provide vital new connections between the Asia-Pacific region and North America.
The Echo and Bifrost trans-Pacific cables will link the U.S. West Coast to Singapore and Indonesia, and increase the data capacity between the regions by 70% and improve internet reliability.
Facebook will be investing in both cables, but Google will invest only in Echo.
Google and Facebook have partnered with leading regional and global partners to implement the project, including Indonesian firms Telin and XL Axiata, and Singapore-based Keppel.
The Echo project is to be completed by late 2023, while Bifrost is set to be finished by late 2024.
