FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.,
June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
GlobeNet, the leading and fastest-growing wholesale provider of
telecoms infrastructure in the Americas, announces today that it
has completed the marine survey for its new subsea cable to
Argentina, Malbec. The new cable
system will link the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to Buenos
Aires, Argentina – with a branching unit to reach
Porto Alegre, Brazil, in the
future.
"Laying a subsea cable is a process that requires due diligence,
meticulous planning and detail-oriented execution," says
Eduardo Falzoni, CEO of GlobeNet.
"The completion of the marine survey in due time is a major
milestone and allows us to confirm the ready for service date for
the first half of 2020."
The Malbec project is being deployed in collaboration with
Facebook. The 2,500km subsea cable system brings Argentina fully into the GlobeNet network,
providing seamless connectivity between the Southern Cone of
South America and the United States. It takes advantage of the
latest enhancements in fiber optic technology, such as SDM (Spatial
Division Multiplexing), to deliver double the current international
capacity to Argentina. As a
result, the new infrastructure will allow much greater high-speed
access to social media content, streaming and cloud services
throughout the region.
The Malbec project was recently recognized as the "Best Subsea
Cable Consortium" at the Carrier Community Global 2019 Awards
event.
