Shoring up LatAm’s submarine cable industry – the tasks that lie ahead   Driven by the increase in global traffic and content exchanges, the submarine cable segment in Latin America continues to thrive, with various projects under development and capacity upgrades underway for older systems. However, there are still some important bottlenecks holding back faster progress. These include the need for a greater diversity of routes and landing points, industrial policies to develop local suppliers and launchers, and coastal cable protection programs, key industry players highlighted at an industry event last week. Rogério Mariano, head of Edge Network Planning at Azion, is among those advocating for the creation of submarine cable protection programs in the various countries in the region, along the lines of what is already happening in Europe and other markets. Azion is one of the leading edge computing and interconnectivity companies in the Americas, and Mariano is a longstanding expert on submarine cables. “Protection and resilience of cables is essential. We've been working on this for a year and a half. Last year we had three incidents considered important: the cutting of the SACS cable by a vessel in September, the cutting of the WACS [cable off the coast of Africa, owned by Angola Cables], and the third was the desalination plant [conflict] in Fortaleza, which is now pacified, but it took a long time,” the executive said at the event.  https://lnkd.in/gmzMMCRR
