Google\u00a0(GOOGL<\/a><\/span>)\u00a0said Tuesday it plans to add three new undersea cables next year as part of a broader effort to improve and expand its cloud computing services.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The cables will run thousands of miles, stretching from the U.S. to parts of Europe and South America. A third cable will run from Hong Kong to Guam.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“These new investments expand our existing cloud network,” Ben Treynor Sloss, a VP at Google, said in a\u00a0blog post<\/a>. “This investment means faster and more reliable connectivity for all our users.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Google has invested in 11 undersea cables to date, including the three announced this week. These investments are usually made with a consortium of tech and telecom companies, including\u00a0Facebook\u00a0(FB<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, however, Google is also developing one private cable that will run from Los Angeles to Chile. The cable, called Curie, after the Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Curie, will give Google a pipeline to Latin America consumers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“With Curie, we become the first major non-telecom company to build a private intercontinental cable,” Sloss said in the post.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The announcement is just the latest example of the tech industry arms race for the fast-growing cloud market.\u00a0Amazon\u00a0(AMZN<\/a><\/span>)\u00a0and\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0(MSFT<\/a><\/span>)\u00a0have also investing in a\u00a0mix<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0undersea cables<\/a>\u00a0and data centers to boost availability and reduce lag time for their cloud services.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There could be billions of dollars at stake in building the best network. Amazon’s cloud business, Amazon Web Services,\u00a0topped $10 billion<\/a>\u00a0in sales in 2016. Microsoft says its cloud business now has a\u00a0$20 billion<\/a>\u00a0annual run rate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Google does not break out sales figures for its cloud business, but it’s thought to make up a big chunk of its “other revenues” segment, which hit $3.4 billion in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
