Global
Crossing to Extend Core Network
to Costa Rica
Global Crossing announced plans
to extend its Pan American
Crossing (PAC) system, which
runs along the west coast of
Central America from Panama to
Los Angeles.
The project requires additional
governmental approval, and
construction is expected to be
complete as early as fourth
quarter 2007.
As part of the cable landing
agreement, Global Crossing also
announced that it will donate an
STM1 to the Costa Rican academic
sector, the largest donation of
its kind in the history of the
country.
Costa Rica's Instituto
Costarricense de Electricidad
(ICE), the state-run entity
responsible for the nation's
telecommunications, and the
national Internet Service
Provider Radiografica
Costarricense, also agreed to
purchase 24 STM-1 Private Lines,
the equivalent of 3.732 Gbps of
bandwidth, from Global Crossing.
One STM-1 is equivalent to
155.52 Mbps.
Global Crossing also recently
announced it will be making
upgrades to its Mid-Atlantic
Crossing (MAC) system, which
connects North America to Latin
America through the Caribbean.
