Atlantic Arc

Rede Aberta is the beneficiary of the Atlantic Arc study project

Study Project: Atlantic Arc

A study project that aims to lay the groundwork for a high-capacity terrestrial fiber optic network spanning the Atlantic corridor. This network will interconnect key cities in France, Spain, and Portugal, major Atlantic data infrastructures such as Atlantic cable landing stations, and major data centers from Bordeaux to Sines.

Project summary

The new backbone network will enable data connection and transmission from submarine cable landing stations and data centers to Europe, serving as a world-class global digital gateway across the Atlantic.

Data Centers

Integration with major regional data centers, facilitating high-performance computing and cloud services.

Cable Landing Stations

Direct connection to the Atlantic docking stations, where the intercontinental submarine cables arrive.

Industrial Parks

The connectivity ring will have the necessary reach to connect the main business hubs of the Atlantic.

Hybrid infrastructure

Creation of an integrated land-sea digital ecosystem that optimizes transcontinental data flows.

The project creates a redundant, neutral, and open terrestrial infrastructure as an alternative to Atlantic data gateways (data entry and exit points), which currently rely heavily on submarine cables.
