Title: Amazon Builds First Solo Subsea Cable Linking Maryland To Ireland

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/11/04/1516...

AWS today announced Fastnet, a subsea fiber-optic cable that will link
Maryland's Eastern Shore to County Cork, Ireland. The project marks Amazon's
first wholly-owned subsea cable system after previously participating in
similar ventures through consortiums. The cable will carry data at speeds
exceeding 320 terabits per second. Amazon did not disclose construction costs
but expects the system to begin operations in 2028. The company is burying
the cable roughly one and a half meters deep across the ocean floor.
Installers will bore a horizontal tunnel from shore to shore. Amazon has
added protective steel wiring to guard against ship anchors and deliberate
sabotage.
