Today we’re announcing Petal: the world’s first petabit-class transoceanic subsea cable and the first to deploy multi-core fiber at scale. Spanning 7,000 km (4,000+ mi) between France and the United States, Petal will deliver 1 Petabit per second (1 Pbps / 1,000 Tbps), doubling the capacity of today’s most advanced transatlantic systems. Petal is set to enter service in 2029, setting a new standard for high capacity, high density SDM subsea cable designs. Read the full technical breakdown on our engineering blog:
