The Americas Connect project will link the Dominican Republic to Bermuda and interconnect Google’s existing cables, creating a continuous, multi-path route from Latin America and the Caribbean to Europe and North America.

New systems include the Alisios cable connecting the Dominican Republic, Panama, and Chile, forming rings between Chile–Panama and Panama–US West Coast, with Cloud regions in Chile, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, plus a Caribbean ring linking the Dominican Republic to the US East Coast with Cloud regions in South Carolina and Virginia.

A third cable, OlaLuz, will connect the Dominican Republic to Florida, increasing Caribbean-to-US East Coast capacity and adding another data path in the region.

There were no specific costs or deployment timelines disclosed in the available material.

Security and best practices guidance accompany the rollout, including device updates, enabling two-factor authentication, reviewing access permissions, regular backups, and consulting experts for any delays or outages.

The overarching goal is a more connected, open global cloud network that supports future growth and regional digital transformation.

The initiative aims to position Chile as a regional digital hub and accelerate digital connectivity across the Caribbean and Latin America.

Chile leverages a stable economy, a dense fiber network, existing undersea cables, and renewable energy to attract tech investment, with Humboldt cited as another ongoing project.

Google’s support for the Humboldt cable project linking Chile and Australia illustrates broader regional expansion of fiber-optic and renewables-backed infrastructure.

Google already owns or invests in more than 33 subsea cable projects worldwide, reflecting a broader industry trend of hyperscalers expanding international capacity, with rising share of global subsea capacity noted in 2024.

Users and businesses should verify pathway routes, monitor progressive activations, and anticipate faster, more stable connectivity in the Caribbean, South America, and U.S. East Coast when using Google Cloud.

Americas Connect provides alternative paths to boost reliability and scalability, reducing outages from single-cable failures and expanding overall capacity.
