MAREA is completed across the Atlantic

node

Microsoft, Facebook and Telxius announced completion of a cable of about 6,600 km between Virginia Beach and Sopelana near Bilbao, with eight fibre pairs and an initial design capacity given as 160 Tbps. Two features mark the change of era: the owners are the companies whose services generate the traffic rather than carriers selling capacity, and the southern landfall deliberately avoids the crowded northern transatlantic corridor.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
