GlobeNet, an international wholesale provider of submarine capacity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Oi, announced, that it has completed the 200Gbps upgrade of its submarine fiber-optic cable system, increasing its total lit capacity to 560Gbps. 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 percent. 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," stated 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," added Luiz Mario Alonso, director of engineering and operations at GlobeNet, who lead this upgrade.
GlobeNet's international capacity serves Brazil, Bermuda, Colombia, the 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 1Tbps of total capacity.
