A new network of undersea cables will connect the Dominican Republic to Bermuda and link with Google's existing Nuvem and Sol cables, creating a continuous path from Latin America and the Caribbean to Europe and North America.

The Alisios cable will form rings between Chile, Panama, and the US West Coast, linking Google Cloud regions in Chile, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, while a Caribbean ring will connect the Dominican Republic to the US East Coast with Cloud regions in South Carolina and Virginia.

The Alisios and the Dominican Republic’s Firmina extension will converge with OlaLuz, which will directly connect to Florida’s south coast.

Overall the goal is to build a more connected, open global cloud network to support future growth and regional digital transformation.

Google already owns or has invested in more than 33 subsea cable projects worldwide, reflecting a broader hyperscaler trend of expanding international capacity, with a 2024 ASPI study noting rising share of global subsea capacity by these players.

The initiative aligns with national digital strategies in Panama and Bermuda and positions Bermuda as a digital gateway in the Atlantic.

The plan aims to bolster Chile’s position as a regional digital hub and accelerate connectivity across the Caribbean and Latin America.

Chile leverages its stable economy, fiber network, undersea cables, and renewables to attract tech investment, with Humboldt cited as part of ongoing regional projects.

Chile’s regional hub role is underscored, with Google supporting the Humboldt cable project linking Chile and Australia and broader fiber-optic and renewable-backed infrastructure expansion.

Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader Corona welcomed the project, underscoring the country’s role as a regional transport hub and partner in expanding connectivity.

Google did not disclose capacity, suppliers, or timelines for construction or service readiness.
