The expanded space will help Facebook continue its 10-year plan to create more systems to connect the world.
To top it, it is situated in a concrete-protected bunker nestled right in Facebooks main Silicon Valley campus.
The things that happen in Area 404 will be above top secret once it is completely operational.
The new space will be divided into prototype workshops and an electrical engineering lab.
Its first lab, which was created five years ago, was lodged in a repurposed mail room.
It is a wireless base station that can serve 24 client devices at the same time.
Hardware like this all has to be designed and prototyped somewhere.
Facebook says the machine can reduce a multi-step, multi process task into a one-step job.
The electron microscope
This electron microscope and CT scanner provide a close-up look at components for failure analysis.
It can also generate 3D X-ray images for inspection.
Since, it uses light; it doesnt need radio spectrum licenses.
Therefore, it is cheap and easy to deploy anywhere.
Below is a video that gives you a sneak peak of Facebooks new Area 404 hardware lab.
