Telefónica boosts submarine capacity with Pacific cable
Telefónica Business Solutions, through its wholesale unit, has boosted communications capacity between the US and Latin America with the rollout of the Pacific Caribbean Cable System (PCCS), a submarine cable with 80Tbps of capacity linking Jacksonville, Florida to Manta, Ecuador.
The 6,000km cable was built by a consortium consisting of five operators including Telefónica, and will also link Tórtola (British Virgin Islands), Puerto Rico, Aruba, Caraçao, Cartagena (Colombia) and María Chiquita and Balboa (Panama).
Telefónica has over 65,000km of terrestrial and submarine fiber optic infrastructure connecting the US, the Americas and Europe. One of its main cables is the SAM-1, a fiber ring stretching 25,000km and rolled out in 2000, connecting the US, Central and South America. Another cable, Unisur, connects Uruguay with Las Toninas (Argentina).
