Google Corporation announced that by 2022 it intends to build a new fiber-optic cable between the US, the UK, and Spain as part of an effort to improve its services, CNBC reported.

The cable — named Grace Hopper — will provide “better resilience for the network that underpins Google’s consumer and enterprise products,” Google noted.

“Once commissioned, the Grace Hopper cable will be one of the first new cables to connect the U.S. and U.K. since 2003, increasing capacity on this busy global crossroads and powering Google services like Meet, Gmail and Google Cloud,” said Bikash Koley, vice president of Google Global Network, in a blog post.

“It also marks our first investment in a private subsea cable route to the U.K., and our first-ever route to Spain,” Koley said. “The Spanish landing point will more tightly integrate the upcoming Google Cloud region in Madrid into our global infrastructure.”
