Tech giant build “the longest cable in the world”
Google is building the longest cable in the world… and it won’t be on land.
North and South Americans will soon get faster access to Google services like search, Gmail, and youtube.
An underwater cable is being built by the tech giant, and it will connect more countries together, like United States, Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina.
The cable, called Firmina, will be the longest cable in the world, Google said in a blog post.
“Firmina will improve access to Google services for users in South America,”
GOOGLE WROTE.
Google wants to boost internet connection capacity between these regions, and it hopes the cable will carry traffic quickly, but also securely.
Google wrote that the cable will carry traffic quickly and securely between North and South America, giving users fast, low-latency access to Google products such as Search, Gmail and YouTube, as well as Google Cloud services.
It will run from the East Coast of the United States to Las Toninas, Argentina, with additional landings in Praia Grande, Brazil, and Punta del Este, Uruguay.

Apple is making a bold move into AI-powered wearables, developing three innovative devices designed to bring ambient computing to everyday life. From smart glasses to a futuristic pendant and camera-equipped AirPods, the tech giant is integrating these devices with an upgraded version of Siri to enhance user experience.
The smart glasses, slated for a 2027 launch, will feature dual cameras and rely heavily on voice interactions, aiming to compete directly with Meta’s leading smart glasses in the market. Meanwhile, the AI pendant is still in early development but promises to be a companion device for iPhone users.
Camera-equipped AirPods could arrive as early as this year, capturing environmental data to feed Apple’s growing AI ecosystem. With Meta’s smart glasses already dominating sales, Apple’s entry signals a fierce battle in wearable AI technology.
