GlobeNet Prepares for Launch of Its Malbec Subsea Cable in Argentina

SÃO PAULO and BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GlobeNet, the fastest growing wholesale telecommunications infrastructure provider in the Americas, is in the final stages of implementation of its new Malbec subsea cable system. The 2,500 km cable will link the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo with Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Malbec will be fully integrated into GlobeNet's regional network, offering seamless connectivity between the Southern Cone and the rest of the GlobeNet's network to Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Bermuda and the United States.
