the Volume of data generated by the person grows every year. Respectively, the volume of the traffic transferred on Internet channels of the whole world increases also. Most of all information transfer and telecommunication giants like Google Inc., Microsoft COR, Sotsialnaya set Facebook, Amazon accept. To these companies already not enough current capacity of the majority of communication channels therefore they invest means in creation of new highways, is frequent — underwater.
As projects such rather difficult and expensive, the companies unite. Actually, the partnership reason often at all in money, and that the reliable channel for reception and transfer of a traffic to the same regions is necessary to a number of the companies. The most recent example of such partnership — the joint Sotsialnaya set Facebook and Google Inc.. The companies acted as initiators of creation of the underwater highway connecting Los Angeles and Gonkong.

In May of last year the social network combined efforts with Microsoft COR for creation of the highway uniting land stations in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States of America, and Bilbao, Spain. The system received the name MAREA, the operator — Telefonica, the Spanish telecommunication company.
As for a communication channel which connects Los Angeles and Gonkong, it one of the major for the telecommunication sphere of highways which provides possibility of transfer of considerable volumes of data across the ocean. Channel capacity — 120 Tbit / Telecommunication giants lay to page

Telecommunication giants, understanding that technologies develop very quickly, do the highways universal. The equipment here unified, it it is possible to replace on newer and effective. "It means possibility of updating of the equipment in process of
of improvement of production technologies of fiber-optical elements and devices, without binding to a certain type of hardware of land stations — were declared in 2016 by the representative of Sotsialnaya set Facebook.
