Aiming to expand in the Latin American market, Tata Communications has made an investment in Seaborn Networks, which is laying a submarine network cable between the US and Brazil.

The investment will help the Tata Group company buy a significant capacity in the cable, Seabras-1, which is expected to be ready for service by the fourth quarter of 2016.

Seabras-1 is part of Seaborn Network and it will provide the first ever direct fibre optic cable between commercial and financial centres of Brazil and the US. The system will also have a branch that lands in Fortaleza, Brazil, Tata Communications said in a statement.

The Seaborn Network cable system has a node close to Tata Communications' cable in US.

"With the Seabras-1 cable landing in Tata Communications' Wall cable landing station in the US, this will also enable seamless extension of our TGN-network," Wong said.
