The link between Brazil and Angola is not new. At least five years ago, Angola Cables announced that it had crossed the ocean with its submarine cable to link both destinations after making a disbursement as important as it was ambitious. These days, this link is reinforced because the operator has just announced a brand change for the Latin American operation, which is renamed TelCables Brasil and through which it seeks to emphasize its expansion plan.
TelCables Brasil will be led by Cláudio Florindo, appointed CEO of Angola Cables Brasil for about a month, and who had already served as CTO since 2020, after having been Head Of Engineering since 2018.
“We grew with the dynamics of building relationships with providers, operators, companies, governments to deliver our solutions in Brazil, to a global market with points of presence and content,” says the operator in the post on social networks announcing the change and in which he recalls that he has more than 30 points of presence (PoPs) and Internet exchange in America, Africa, Europe and Asia.
In various conversations with the international press, Angelo Gama, general director of Angola Cables, announced that this decision seeks to expand the regions they serve in Brazil and, for this, this plan to strengthen the offer, with diversification of products and services. The operation is already available in Ceará, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, and plans to expand to the Midwest and North of the country.
In addition, and as expected, TelCables Brasil will operate the available local infrastructure, including a Tier III data center , and the SACS , Monet and WACS submarine cables with which it connects the American continent with each other, but also with Africa. and Europe.
It should be remembered that, before 2022 ended, the operator had announced the choice of Infinera’s ICE6 technology to update the submarine network that connects San Pablo with Miami and through which it sought to add capacity and security to its benefits.
