Cable System
TAM-1
Cable Route
TAM-1 is the first fiber optic cable specifically designed to meet the exploding demand for data in the trans Americas region, revolutionizing connectivity solutions through state-of-the art products and services. The initial system rollout covers more than 7,000 km and will link Florida with Central America and the wider Caribbean. This is the first stage of a broader digital infrastructure project which will be carried out over the next five years creating a low latency, high reliability, scalable and flexible network covering the entire Caribbean Basin, with extensions to pacific South America.
