Google has announced Sol, a new transatlantic subsea cable system to connect the U.S., Bermuda, the Azores, and Spain. Sol translates to “sun” in Spanish and Portuguese, a nod to the cable system’s landing points in warmer climates.

Alongside the Nuvem subsea cable, Sol completes the company’s unique investment in transatlantic resiliency — with the two systems interconnecting terrestrially in the U.S. and in Iberia, as well as in Bermuda and the Azores.

The Sol cable will be manufactured in the U.S. and, once operational, bolster capacity and reliability for our growing network of 42 Google Cloud regions around the world, helping meet growing customer demand for Google Cloud and AI services across the U.S., Europe, and beyond.

Palm Coast, Florida, will anchor the Sol cable in the U.S. The company partnered with DC BLOX to land the cable and establish a new connectivity hub in the Sunshine State. They will also develop a terrestrial route linking Palm Coast to our South Carolina cloud region.

When it’s complete, Sol will be the only in-service fiber-optic cable between Florida(the US) and Europe. In Spain, the company will partner with Telxius to provide the necessary infrastructure to land the Sol cable in Santander, further integrating the Google Cloud region in Madrid into their global network.

Sol will add capacity, increase reliability, and decrease latency for Google users and Google Cloud customers around the world. Alongside cable systems like Nuvem, Firmina, Equiano, and Grace Hopper, Sol further establishes key locations across the Atlantic as connectivity hubs, strengthening local economies and bringing AI’s benefits to people and businesses around the world.
