Google is investing in another massive undersea fiber-optic cable, this time to connect Jakarta, Singapore, Perth and Sydney to one another. This is part of a project called Indigo, and the tech giant is funding it to build out network connectivity around the world.

According to PCWorld, the cable will run across 9,000km and reach a capacity of roughly 18Tbps. It’s being built to bring users more connectivity in a region that has growing internet needs. Alcatel Submarine Networks will build the cable, and Google expects it to be finished by the middle of 2019. Other Indigo investors include cable company SubPartners and ISPs AARNet, Indosat Ooredoo, Singtel and Telstra.

As of now, Google has invested in five submarine cables in the Asia-Pacific region and seven overall. The company hopes to better compete with other cloud providers and consumer internet companies. Indigo will only be accessible to Google and the other investors, although telcos Singtel and Telstra will be able to sell capacity to their customers as part of their businesses.

Indigo has two fiber pairs, one-third as many as the trans-Pacific FASTER cable turned on last year, where Google was also an investor. Interestingly, Indigo’s roughly 9,000-kilometer run puts it on par with the length of FASTER. It’s that long partly because of the curving path it needs to take to connect the four cities along its length.
