Google just announced Americas Connect, a major expansion of its connectivity network across Latin America, the US and Europe. The new undersea connections will link the Dominican Republic with Panama, Chile, Bermuda and Florida, while also adding another important connection to the Dominican Republic.
The real story is reliability. These new connections create alternative routes, so if one cable has a problem, data can keep flowing. That kind of backup infrastructure is essential.
If you sell enterprise technology in Latin America, you know reliability matters more than anything else.
Chile and the Dominican Republic were chosen because they offer strong connectivity, reliable power and stable conditions for investment.
Staying present and committed is what wins business in Latin America.
