Echo and Bifrost Cables

  • Facebook and Google are planning to build new cables under the sea called 'Echo' and 'Bifrost' to connect the US to Singapore and Indonesia.
  • While Google is only investing in Echo, Facebook is investing in both cables.
  • These cables will increase overall transpacific capacity by 70 per cent and are expected deliver much-needed Internet capacity, redundancy, and reliability.
  • Echo will be the first-ever cable to directly connect the U.S. to Singapore with direct fiber pairs over an express route. It will decrease latency for users connecting to applications running the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions in the area.
