Tuesday Roundup: SUBCO, TelCables Brasil, Available Infrastructure

Some infrastructure expansion news in Brazil, Australia, and around the US.

A subsidiary of Angola Cables is moving to expand its presence in southeastern Brazil. TelCables Brasil has launched three PoPs in Belo Horizonte, a city in Minas Gerais to the north of Sao Paolo. That gives them 10 in Brazil overall and expands the company’s ability to exchange traffic with local networks quite a ways inland.

SUBCO has been busy adding diversity to its intercity network down under. The Sydney-Melbourne route now has two geographically independent paths, with service via the SMAP and Indigo Central paths as well as a terrestrial fiber link. Meanwhile, new data center access points have been added across the country’s four major markets of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.

And Available Infrastructure has launched ‘a nationwide fleet of cybersecure, private neocloud edge data centers’ called Project Qestral. By the end of this year the first phase of 1,000 sites across 100 markets will be in place. They are looking to combine zero trust, quantum-secure networking with edge AI inference capabilities, and are working with Crown Castle and now Strata Expanse. The project has a $5B price tag on it.
