The digital transformation in which the majority of Latin American companies are immersed and the advances in the implementation of the Artificial intelligence They are factors that put pressure on the capabilities of the connectivity infrastructure. The data economy requires more bandwidth and less latency.
That is why companies providing digital infrastructure are forced to increase investments to constantly expand the available networks.
This is the case of Cirion Technologiesa leading provider of digital infrastructure and technology in Latin America, which announced a new submarine cable route that expands fiber connectivity between Latin America and North America.
It is about the South American Crossing-2 (SAC-2) Route), a new underwater route in the Atlantic Ocean that is totally diverse and resilient, according to the company. It is expected to be ready for service in the first quarter of 2025.
This new route is part of the latest generation Firmina submarine system and complements the existing Cirion, SAC (South American Crossing) and MAC (Mid Atlantic Crossing) cables.
The route will include a landing point in Praia Grande, Brazil, and will extend from Myrtle Beach, South Carolinaon the east coast of the United States, to the Cirion neutral cable mooring station in the Buenos Aires town of Las Toninasin Argentina.
The cable system was designed to provide a new route between the United States, Argentina and Brazil, as well as key sites throughout Latin America, and will enable a significant expansion of bandwidth capacity.
Cirion’s total network spans more than 105,000 km of long-haul and metropolitan subsea and terrestrial fiber, 18 cable landing stations and six major subsea systems: South American Crossing (SAC), Mid Atlantic Crossing (MAC), Pan-American Crossing (PAC), Cook Crossing (CC), Trasandino Crossing (TAC), and now South American Crossing 2 (SAC-2).
Likewise, Cirion has a Level 1 international IP network that offers direct Internet connectivity to the main operators and ISPs.
According to the company, there are four benefits that are generated with the new SAC-2 submarine cable.
-Diversity of routes and mooring points: Cirion currently offers two redundant routes between the United States and Brazil, and two additional redundant routes extending to Argentina.
-Ultra-low latency connectivity: These cables strengthen the resilience of Cirion’s network, ensuring robust, low-latency connectivity to share throughout the American continent.
-Greater capacity and efficiency: The SAC-2 express route enables significant efficiencies in the current network and significantly increases the throughput (throughput) capacity of Cirion’s submarine fiber services for customers.
-Business opportunities: These new routes will increase international connectivity and are expected to boost the digital economy, opening new business opportunities.
“We are very excited to join Google on the Firmina cable system and officially launch SAC-2, demonstrating our commitment to deliver ultra-low latency, improved diversity and high-capacity networks throughout the American continent for our clients and partners,” commented Facundo Castro, CEO of Cirion Technologies.
“We are delighted to launch our second submarine route in the Atlanticirrefutable proof of the rapid growth of Cirion’s business, amid the continued proliferation of the cloud and the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence. By providing a new and diverse route, we believe SAC-2 will further support the growing demand for data services,” commented Leonardo Barbero, president of Cirion’s Connectivity business unit.
Cirion serves more than 5,500 Latin American and multinational clientsincluding enterprises, government agencies, cloud service providers, carriers, ISPs and other leading companies.
It owns and operates a portfolio of its own networks and data centers, with a presence in more than 20 Latin American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.
Cloud applications and security have become very important in today’s digital landscape. According to research from Cirion, more than 90% of information technology professionals agree that cloud applications work best with fiber connectionsand 70.7% of executives take into account security when implementing peripheral storage solutions.
