Social media leader Meta has unveiled a new submarine cable project, Candle, set for completion in 2028. The cable will create a robust communications network linking Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, becoming the highest-capacity submarine cable in the Asia-Pacific region. Meta’s other submarine cable initiatives also reserve potential extensions into Asia, with the company committing to long-term digital infrastructure investments across the continent, though specific investment amounts remain undisclosed.
