Ce qui s'est passé: Google et le Chili signent un accord pour un projet de câble de données dans le Pacifique Sud

Google et le gouvernement chilien ont signé un accord pour déployer un câble sous-marin de 14 800 kilomètres, nommé le câble Humboldt, reliant Valparaíso, au Chili, à Sydney, en Australie, via la Polynésie française. Cette initiative, la première de ce type dans le Pacifique Sud, vise à améliorer la connectivité numérique entre l'Amérique du Sud et la région Asie-Pacifique. Le projet, initialement proposé en 2016, devrait être déployé en 2026 et opérationnel d'ici 2027.

Le coût estimé du projet se situe entre 300 et 550 millions de dollars, le Chili contribuant à hauteur de 25 millions de dollars via son entreprise d'infrastructure publique, Desarrollo País. Le câble sera ouvert à l'utilisation par d'autres entités, y compris les entreprises technologiques opérant au Chili.

Le câble Humboldt devrait améliorer des services tels que TikTok, faciliter la transmission de données astronomiques et soutenir les opérations minières au Chili et en Australie. De plus, le Chili étudie la possibilité d'étendre le câble jusqu'en Argentine et prévoit un câble sous-marin distinct vers l'Antarctique à des fins de recherche. Voir aussi: ZION-AS Zion Boetzel.
