GOOGLE $GOOGL IS BUILDING THREE NEW SUBSEA CABLES ACROSS THE AMERICAS, CALLING THE WHOLE PROJECT "AMERICAS CONNECT" The new systems, Alisios, Canoa, and OlaLuz, connect the Dominican Republic, Panama, Chile, Bermuda, and Florida, alongside a new branch of the existing Firmina cable and prior investments in Curie, Nuvem, and Sol. Alisios links the Dominican Republic, Panama, and Chile. Canoa connects the Dominican Republic to Bermuda, extending reach from Latin America and the Caribbean directly to Europe and North America. OlaLuz runs from the Dominican Republic straight to Florida. The buildout creates redundant rings across three regions: - Pacific: Chile to Panama to the US West Coast, serving Google Cloud regions in Chile, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas - Caribbean: Panama to the Dominican Republic, interlinking to the US East Coast and Google Cloud regions in South Carolina and Virginia - Atlantic: Dominican Republic to Bermuda, connecting to US East Coast and European Google Cloud regions in Madrid
