Angola Cables starts construction on Brazil data centre

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.
