Cirion Technologies announced a new wholly-diverse and resilient Atlantic subsea route, expected to be ready for service in Q1 2025, expanding fiber connectivity between Latin America and North America.
Allowing a significant expansion of bandwidth capacity, the new South American Crossing-2 (SAC-2) Route is part of the state-of-the-art Firmina subsea system and complements Cirion’s existing SAC (South American Crossing) and MAC (Mid Atlantic Crossing) cables.
“We are excited to join Google on the Firmina cable system and officially launch SAC-2, demonstrating our commitment to delivering ultra-low latency, enhanced diversity and high-capacity networking across the Americas for our customers and partners,” said Facundo Castro, Chief Executive Officer of Cirion Technologies.
SAC-2 offers complete diversity from existing Atlantic systems and traditional landing points in Florida and New York. The route will land in Praia Grande, Brazil, and span from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on the East Coast of the U.S. to Cirion’s carrier neutral cable landing station in Las Toninas, Argentina.
“We are proud to launch our second Atlantic subsea route – a testament to Cirion’s rapidly growing business, amidst the continued proliferation of the cloud and the rapid onset of artificial intelligence. By providing a new and diverse route, we believe SAC-2 will further meet the growing demand for data services,” commented Leonardo Barbero, President, Connectivity business unit at Cirion.
With its submarine and fiber network infrastructure that spans over 65,000 miles, Cirion provides critical, end-to-end connectivity within key Latin American regions and between Latin America and the United States, offering a wide range of capacity, colocation and security services across the region.
