Telefonica's infrastructure subsidiary, Telxius, confirmed today that it is joining the Firmina subsea cable system, connecting the US, Brazil, and Argentina. First announced in June 2021, Firmina will link the East Coast of the USA to Las Toninas (Argentina), with additional landings in Praia Grande (Brazil) and Punta del Este (Uruguay).

Redundant Routes for Enhanced Reliability

Telxius said with the addition of this new cable, its customers will benefit from three redundant routes between the US and Brazil (Firmina, Brusa, SAm-1), as well as three redundant routes extending to Argentina (Firmina, Tannat, SAm-1).

These routes enhance the resilience of the Telxius network, providing robust and low-latency connectivity across the Americas. Telxius anticipates that these network routes will augment international connectivity and contribute to the growth of the digital economy, opening new opportunities for businesses.
