News Summary:
DE-CIX is investing in connectivity between the USA and Mexico, as its DE-CIX Mexico operation reached 200Gbps of peak traffic across five data centers in Mexico City and Querétaro, requiring larger pipes to DE-CIX Dallas, which includes V.tal's RadiusDC. Earlier, on March 11, 2026, V.tal consolidated a new digital ecosystem in Barranquilla, Colombia, integrating international connectivity, network interconnection, and Tecto data centers. This followed preliminary approval from Brazil's telecommunications regulator Anatel on February 23, 2026, for V.tal's acquisition of Um Telecom. This authorization is valid for 180 days, during which the companies must finalize the transaction and submit proof to Anatel within 60 days of registering the deal. Separately, V.tal plans the Synapse subsea cable, designed to span approximately 9,700 kilometers with 16 fiber pairs, to establish a new transatlantic path between São Paulo and New Jersey. Previously, on January 28, 2026, Brazil's Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) opted for a more in-depth evaluation of V.tal's acquisition of Um Telecom, signaling significant horizontal overlap indicators that prevented a simplified review process.
