Multinational telecommunications company Angola Cables has started the construction of its South American data centre, located in Fortaleza, Brazil, connecting to the subsea Internet cable linking Africa to the Americas.

The data centre will run two key routes – the South Atlantic Cable System connecting the Fortaleza centre to Luanda, Angola, which is expected to be completed by mid-2018, and the Monet Cable connecting Miami to both Fortaleza and Sao Paulo, in Brazil, which is scheduled for completion at the end of this year.

The data centre aims to accommodate more cables from the cable dense region of Fortaleza.

“The systems will enhance Africa’s global communications networks, provide a meet me point with high connectivity and access to larger markets. They will also deliver the lowest latency routing between Africa and South America,” said Angola Cables CEO António Nunes in a statement.

Clients who have already signed in Brazil include Prefeitura de Fortaleza, Claranet and AmLight.
