Level 3 Communications activated a new subsea cable landing station in Buenaventura, Colombia, giving the country a Pacific Ocean route to connect to its international network. At launch, Level 3´s undersea system has a total installed capacity of eight terabits of which 400-gigabits are already available.
The fiber optic undersea cable runs 300 kilometers to the seaport city of Buenaventura on Colombia’s Pacific coast, then 154 kilometers over land to the city of Cali, where it connects with Level 3’s national fiber optic system that provides access to the main Colombian markets.
Level 3 said demand for connectivity and network services in Colombia and Latin America is rising.
