Problem
Legacy submarine cable systems across the Americas are aging and lack the capacity and diverse routing needed to support growing demand for high-speed internet. This infrastructure gap widens the digital divide, limiting internet penetration and economic growth in the Caribbean, Central, and South American markets.
