Tier 1 operator Global Crossing plans to upgrade its subsea cables, to meet escalating demand for Ethernet and IP transport among its enterprise and carrier customers.
Global Crossing will significantly expand capacity on its Mid-Atlantic Crossing (MAC), South American Crossing (SAC) and Pan American Crossing (PAC) subsea cable systems.
The upgrades, which will enhance connectivity between Latin America, North America and Europe, will be rolled out over the coming six months. The first benefits from the upgrade are expected by as early as May.
The three cables span a combined distance of around 37,500 km, and have landing stations in nine countries.
