Gold Data 1 Submarine Cable a game changer for Mexico’s fast-growing innovators

Gold Data, a leading, multinational, and award-winning technology company, is proud to announce that it is building the first cable system in the Gulf of Mexico which will connect Miami in Florida with strategic points in Mexico: Mexico City, Cancun, and Queretaro.

The first to reach Mexico City in 22 years, the cable system will play a key part in empowering the fast-growing Mexico data market, as its state-of-the-art topology network will revolutionize Mexico’s connectivity by reducing latency by up to 35%.

This is key for enterprises and content providers which need reliable, low latency, high quality connectivity.

The Investment

This US$150 million investment is the third and final phase of Gold Data’s Mexico network expansion. It will complement the company’s low-latency underground network, which interconnects the most important Data Centers in the country, including Queretaro, Mexico City, Veracruz and Cancun.

The Route

Gold Data 1 Submarine Cable will connect Mexico and Florida with 1,899 linear km on the Veracruz (Mexico) to Naples, (USA) trunk, with another 423 km fiber branch to Cancun (Mexico).

The System

The system will boast 10 fiber pairs:

2 Pairs of Fiber express from Veracruz (Mexico) to Naples (USA).
2 Pairs of Fiber Omnibus from Veracruz (Mexico) to Cancun (Mexico) to Naples (USA).
6 Pairs of Fiber express from Cancun (Mexico) to Naples (USA).

The Design

The cable is designed for a capacity of 250Tb/s (25 Tbps per Fiber Pair).

The Timeline

The construction time is estimated at 31 months with a delivery date in 2025. The lifespan of the cable will be 25 years.
