Future Wasace Project’s

Introducing WASACE Project. WASACE is a fiber optic cable project which will lay down a first direct route from Latin America to Europe: Fortaleza (Brazil) – Canary Islands – Seixal (Portugal).
It will include a Network Operations Center and Data Center in Tenerife (Canary Islands) from which subsequent routes are projected to West Africa, the Mediterranean and North America.
It will be the first trans-Atlantic system to deploy the fiber optic next-generation technology, multiplying the capacity of previous systems:
The fiber optic cable project will lay down a first direct route from Latin America to Europe: Santos (Brazil) – Canary Islands – Seixal (Portugal).
It will include a Network Operations Center and Data Center in Tenerife (Canary Islands) from which subsequent routes are projected to West Africa, the Mediterranean and North America.
It will be the first trans-Atlantic system to deploy the fiber optic next-generation technology, multiplying the capacity of previous systems.
8 Fibre pairs (FP) for a total capacity of 144 Tbps
Each pair has an initial capacity of 18 Tbps upgradable to at least 24 Tbps.
In depth feasibility studies have been carried out since 2012. All study parameters being positive a company operating under the European law has been established to carry out the project.
As opposed to other projects, the 8 Fiber pairs property title will be sold, instead of its capacity, to international TELECOM and digital companies.
The project will is expected to be fully completed in 31 months.
Environment friendly infrastructure:
The cable will be laid and existing cable removed in the most environmentally safe way available by using the latest submarine cable technology.
