Telefonica's infrastructure subsidiary Telxius confirmed that the new Tannat submarine cable connecting Santos (Brazil) with Las Toninas (Argentina) is now open for business. The 2,000km system links to the Brusa (Virginia Beach - Rio de Janeiro) and Junior (Rio de Janeiro - Santos) cables on the Atlantic coast of Latin America to deliver end-to-end connectivity between the US, Brazil and Argentina.
Tannat, via Junior and Brusa, connects directly to the Virginia Beach Telxius CLS Campus featuring a direct backhaul to the world’s largest concentration of data centres in Ashburn, US. In addition, the Virginia Beach landing station provides direct access to the Marea and Dunant subsea cables, creating a global loop that connects South America, the US, Europe and beyond, said Telxius.
The three new generation systems will also add redundancy and provide additional route diversity to the company’s existing SAm-1 link, a 25,000km subsea cable ring that surrounds Latin America.
