The new fiber-optic submarine cable for Global IP-based communications in Esterillos of Parrita, Puntarenas, has been lighted by Global Crossing. The cable will connect the area of Costa Rica with ICE’s international network.

“We’re excited to reinforce our partnership with ICE in this initiative to expand Costa Rica’s telecommunications services and increased connectivity around the world. This agreement is another step in the ongoing, cooperative effort between ICE, RACSA and Global Crossing to promote the continuous social and economic growth of the country,” said John Legere, CEO of Global Crossing.

The cable is part of the Pan American Crossing that connects the west coast of the U.S., Mexico, Panama, Venezuela and the Virgin Islands as well as the U.S. east coast, South America, Europe, and Asia.
