Why it matters
Petal would move multi-core fiber into a 7,000-kilometer operational system, giving hyperscalers another way to expand bandwidth without doubling cables, power and materials.
Meta plans to build a 7,000-kilometer subsea cable capable of carrying 1 petabit per second between the United States and France, doubling the design capacity of the most advanced transatlantic systems operating at that distance.
