GlobeNet, an international wholesale provider of submarine
capacity, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Oi (BOVESPA: TNLP3)
(BOVESPA: TNLP4) (BOVESPA: TMAR3) (BOVESPA: TMAR5) (BOVESPA: TMAR6)
(NYSE: TNE), announces today it has completed the 200 Gbps upgrade
of its submarine fiber optic cable system, increasing its total lit
capacity to 560 Gbps. Delivering the lowest latency capacity
connecting North America and South America, the GlobeNet network
expansion will support increased bandwidth demands in the region
due to the widespread adoption of advanced technologies and
telecommunications services.
The demand for advanced services requiring high-bandwidth
networks has been driven by the increased use of high-end services
such as streaming media, online gaming, high-definition (HD) video,
social media applications and other bandwidth-intensive
services.
With over 22,000 kilometers of submarine fiber optic cable built
with the lowest latency design on all network segments, GlobeNet
offers network availability in excess of 99.99%. Its
state-of-the-art architecture based upon the latest Dense Wave
Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology coupled with GlobeNet's
carrier-class customer support, offers the wholesale marketplace
cutting-edge services and technical support.
"As a wholesale provider committed to the Latin American region,
we have further optimized our cable system to address the huge
demand for Internet-related services," states Erick W. Contag,
Chief Operating Officer of GlobeNet.
"By utilizing our extremely reliable and high-capacity network,
carrier and service providers will also be able to prepare their
networks to handle the data and transmission for upcoming South
American events, such as 2014 World Cup Brazil and 2016 Olympics to
be held in Rio de Janeiro," adds Luiz Mario Alonso, Director of
Engineering and Operations at GlobeNet who lead this upgrade.
GlobeNet's international capacity serves Brazil, Bermuda,
Colombia, United States and Venezuela, offering a wide range of
products and services including International Private Line,
Wavelength and Carrier Ethernet. GlobeNet plans an additional
network upgrade later this year that will offer more than 1
Terabytes of total capacity.
