DOS CONTINENTES l & ll are significant submarine cable systems designed to enhance connectivity between continents, specifically linking Europe and Latin America. These cables facilitate high-capacity data transmission, supporting the increasing demand for bandwidth and offering improved internet services for users in both regions.
The ready for service date for DOS CONTINENTES l was in early 2021, while DOS CONTINENTES ll became operational in mid-2022. This staggered deployment allows for phased enhancements in connectivity, ensuring that users benefit from the latest technology and infrastructure as it becomes available.
The cable landing stations for DOS CONTINENTES l & ll are strategically located to optimize reach and performance. For DOS CONTINENTES l, the primary landing stations include locations in Spain and Brazil, while DOS CONTINENTES ll has landing stations in Portugal and Argentina. These locations are crucial as they serve as gateways for data traffic between Europe and Latin America, providing essential interconnectivity.
The total capacity of the DOS CONTINENTES submarine cable systems is impressive, with each cable offering a capacity of up to 200 Terabits per second (Tbps). This remarkable capacity allows for significant data exchange, accommodating the rising needs of enterprises, telecom operators, and end-users for robust and reliable internet access.
The expected lifespan of the cables is approximately 25 years. This durability is vital for maintaining long-term infrastructure investments and ensuring continued service reliability for customers who depend on these submarine cables for their global connectivity needs.
