Vancouver station will be located in the old Commonwealth Pacific Cable System building
According to a blog post from Bikash Koley, Google’s head of Technology and Strategy, the sub-sea cable will be the first to connect Canada to Asia and will be called Topaz.
It would also be used by other network operators to increase capacity. Previous cables have only been able to hold eight pairs of fibre-optic wires. “This is a long-standing practice in the industry that strengthens the intercontinental network lattice for network operators, for Google, and for users around the world.”
