Google opened the world's fastest optical fiber submarine cable "FASTER" of 26 terabit per second between Japan and Taiwan

FASTER, a 60 Tera-bit super-explosion optical fiber submarine cable that connects Asia between Japan including Asia and approximately 9000 km on the West Coast of the United StatesIt had been laid in 2015However, it was announced that Google has further opened this FASTER cable between Japan and Taiwan and that Google's service can be used more quickly and comfortably.

The world's fastest optical fiber submarine cable "FASTER" which connects Japan and the United States opened in June 2016 which passed about 1 year after laying and became one of the big existence supporting high-speed Internet communication across the Pacific Ocean. Google made an additional investment in FASTER, and this time, between Taiwan and Japan with the largest Google data center in the Asian region, we also opened the FASTER cable for ultra high speed lines. This makes Google service comfortable to use at a rate of 26 terabits per second.

Although it seems that Gmail's transmission speed and the reading speed of YouTube movie are slightly faster as contents that you can actually experience, every 15 seconds the Taiwanese communication speed "SECOND 26 Terabits per second" It will be speed enough to keep sending photos to Japan, and if you set the total number of daily works to "138 billion pieces". Also, since all cables are laid in areas that are not affected by natural disasters such as tsunamis, it seems that not only the speed of net communication can be increased but also the effect of preventing the net itself from stopping.
