Through the recitals, the Government states that the company requested in the aforementioned actions a permit related to the installation of the submarine cable in the Argentine Territorial Sea for the project called “INSTALLATION OF THE FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEM “FIRMINA”, to which height of the mentioned Buenos Aires locality.
In turn, it indicates that the ‘Firmina’ project is designed to be a high-capacity system linking the city of Myrtle Beach, in the state of South Carolina, with Las Toninas. The document also states that the cable will be approximately 13,500 kilometers long, including five segments for the main route and two branches in its designs.
In addition, it is clarified that the submarine cable project will import a significant benefit for the country, taking into account the growing demand for services that increasingly require more infrastructure capacity with respect to telecommunications.
Its installation and operation will be reflected in growth not only in technological terms, but also from an economic point of view, since “the improvement of international connectivity is considered fundamental by any industry, whatever the sector in which it operates, due to the transversality that telecommunications and information technologies have”, according to Enacom.
As explained in the agency, Firmina “will be the longest cable in the world, capable of operating with a single power source at one end of the cable, in case its other power sources are temporarily unavailable”.
“With 12 fiber pairs, the cable will carry traffic quickly and securely between North and South America, providing fast, low-latency access to Google products like search, Gmail and YouTube, as well as Google Cloud services”, they explained. The cable will offer a final design capacity of 15.03 terabits per second (TB/s) per fiber pair.
The name of the project responds to the story of Maria Firmina dos Reis (1825-1917), a Brazilian author and abolitionist whose 1859 novel “Ursula” describes the lives of Afro-Brazilians under slavery. “With this cable, we seek, in this sense, to highlight the work and pioneering spirit of who is considered the first novelist in Brazil,” Enacom said.
The organism “accompanies the promotion and progress of projects that expand borders to the world, specify actions that improve the quality of life of users throughout the region and guarantee access to new Information and Communications Technologies (ICT)”, he explained in a statement.
