Connectivity provider Telxius opened its extended SAm-1 submarine cable route between Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico.
The route is a vital link between the Caribbean and the US, as well as wider Latin America via the Brusa, PCCS, and SAm-1 cables.
Telxius said the extension bridges the gap between the Caribbean and the Americas with capacity connectivity.
“This new route will accelerate digital transformation in key regions, allowing them to fully participate in today’s digital economy,” said Telxius CEO Mario Martiìn.
