Highlighted: the sentence this signal was extracted from

Meta is racing to control the underwater infrastructure powering artificial intelligence globally. The company announced Petal, a groundbreaking subsea cable project connecting the United States and France across approximately 7,000 kilometers, or 4,300 miles. This deployment marks the first petabit-class transoceanic cable ever deployed, doubling the capacity of today's most advanced transoceanic systems. Meta developed Petal through partnerships with NEC Corporation and Sumitomo Electric Industries, reflecting a coordinated effort to push submarine cable technology forward. As announced by the company: We're announcing Petal, the first subsea cable with petabit capacity to be deployed across an ocean. Petal will connect the US and France, spanning 7,000 km (over 4,300 miles) and doubling the capacity of today's most advanced transoceanic cables. This deployment marks the single largest generational increase in capacity of any transoceanic subsea cable system, ever. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated. Petabit capacity represents a major technological milestone in global telecommunications history. Sumitomo Electric Industries developed the specialized 2-core fiber with ultra-low losses used in Petal. This engineered fiber delivers optical performance practically identical to single-core fiber while eliminating measurable crosstalk between...
