The Brazilian Festoon submarine cable is a pivotal infrastructure project designed to enhance connectivity and improve bandwidth between Brazil and global markets. This cable system plays a crucial role in supporting the growing demand for internet and communication services in the region.
The Brazilian Festoon is officially ready for service as of December 2021. The cable system connects several strategic locations, facilitating efficient data transmission. The cable landing stations include key sites in Brazil, providing access points for international connectivity.
With a total capacity of 60 terabits per second (Tbps), the Brazilian Festoon submarine cable is engineered to meet the needs of modern data traffic demands, supporting both individual and enterprise-level communications. This high capacity is essential for accommodating the exponential growth of internet usage and the increasing reliance on cloud services.
The lifespan of the cable is expected to be approximately 25 years, which is standard for submarine cable systems. This durability ensures long-term serviceability and reliability, allowing businesses and consumers to benefit from consistent and high-performance connectivity.
