미주 지역 연결성 확장: Alisios, Canoa, OlaLuz 해저 케이블 공개

The global digital economy relies on robust, resilient, and highly secure infrastructure to support everything from daily internet use to telehealth and scientific research breakthroughs. Today, Google is announcing a major expansion of our global network infrastructure in the Americas with three new subsea cable systems — Alisios, Canoa, and OlaLuz. These systems, alongside a new branch for the Firmina cable and previous investments in Curie , Nuvem , and Sol , form Americas Connect . The Alisios subsea cable system will connect the Dominican Republic, Panama, and Chile.

The cable is named after the vientos alisios — the Spanish term for the trade winds that blow across the tropics and the Caribbean, historically used by sailors to navigate between continents. The name "Alisios" nods to the flows of data that will navigate these new subsea routes to connect communities. Furthering regional connectivity, Canoa is a new subsea cable system connecting the Dominican Republic to Bermuda. Canoa comes from the Taíno word for canoe, harkening to the longstanding maritime culture in the Caribbean and North Atlantic.

When combined with the Nuvem and Sol cable systems, the Canoa cable will enable a highly reliable and resilient connection from Latin America and the Caribbean directly to Europe and North America. The OlaLuz subsea cable system will connect the Dominican Republic directly to Florida. The name "OlaLuz" combines the Spanish words for "wave" (ola) and "light" (luz), referencing the waves of light that carry data along the cable on the ocean floor. This new route significantly strengthens network capacity between the Caribbean and the U. East Coast, providing a pathway that enhances resilience for the region.

To further strengthen network diversity, Google is also introducing a new branch of the Firmina subsea cable that will land directly in the Dominican Republic. Originally built to connect North and South America, this new branch extends Firmina’s high-capacity reach and brings additional network connectivity to the Caribbean. With its diverse subsea cable routes to geographically separated cloud regions, Americas Connect improves the reach, reliability and resilience of connectivity infrastructure.
