The Boca Raton cable landing station is the terminal station for the South America-1 (SAm-1) cable system owned by Telxius. Windstream Wholesale has existing connections to Telxius’ landing stations in Jacksonville, Florida, and in Virginia Beach, the landing point of the Dunant and Marea subsea cable systems.
“We are excited to expand our highly successful partnership with Telxius,” said Joe Scattareggia (pictured), executive vice president of Windstream Wholesale.
“Our collaboration with Telxius is providing customers with ultra-high capacity connectivity and diversity options coast to coast to major peering locations throughout the US, Latin America and beyond.”
Spanning 25,000km in length, SAm-1 is a subsea fibre-optic cable ring surrounding Latin America, and it is the fifth longest global subsea cable system.
It has branch unit extensions to Ecuador, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic, in addition to the trans-Andean and trans-Guatemalan terrestrial backbones. It also interconnects the American coasts of the Caribbean, the Atlantic and the Pacific.
“We are proud to be extending our collaboration with Windstream Wholesale with the addition of Boca Raton to their network, which is already connecting our landing stations of Jacksonville and Virginia Beach to all international hubs in the US like Miami, Richmond and Ashburn,” said Enrique Valdés, sales vice president of the northern region, Telxius Cable.
