Uruguay's government-owned telecommunications company, Antel, has announced that it wants to expand its infrastructure with two new data centers, as announced by the company's president, Alejandro Paz, during his visit to the Ing. José Luis Massera data center.
On the creation of a data center for AI, Paz noted the importance of sovereignty: "The engines of this technology operate with sensitive processors, and it is extremely important that the sensitive data generated remains in the country, while the training and processing of this data is in Uruguay," he said.
Pablo Álvarez, vice-president of the company, pointed out that thanks to the development of the company's own data centers, the company can offer more services, allowing "scaling towards other types of business" and defended the importance of the management of telecommunications and technology solutions "from the point of view of Uruguayan sovereignty."
