Google plans subsea cable to connect Darwin and Christmas Island in Australia

Google plans to build a new subsea cable, called the Bosun cable, connecting Darwin, Australia, to Christmas Island. This project aims to enhance digital connectivity and resilience for the remote territory, which is strategically located in the Indian Ocean. In addition to the Bosun cable, another subsea cable will link Melbourne to Perth, then to Christmas Island and Singapore. This initiative is part of Australia's effort to improve its digital infrastructure and reduce vulnerability to disruptions. The project involves partnerships with Australian companies and aims to create a vast network of cables, forming the world's largest submarine cable system. This system will connect the U.S. and Asia through Australia, enhancing regional connectivity.
