United States: Liberty Networks and Gold Data partner to develop new subsea cable

Liberty Networks and Gold Data have entered a partnership with the aim to develop a new subsea cable system connecting the US and Latin America. This system scheduled to be ready for operation by 2026,  will be split into two segments: the Gold Data 1 system and Liberty Networks 1 system.

 Ray Collins, Liberty Latin America's SVP of infrastructure and corporate strategy said, "We are excited about collaborating with Gold Data on this groundbreaking project. The combination of GD-1 and LN-1 will deliver a subsea cable system with unparalleled capabilities. The new system will seamlessly integrate into our existing subsea meshed platform, adding new routes and materially expanding our capacity. The LN-1 system can be further expanded to complement our capacity and diversity throughout the Caribbean."

Renato A. Tradardi, Gold Data’s Chief Executive Officer, "We are thrilled to combine forces with Liberty Networks to create a new subsea system that extends the previously announced GD-1. Combined with our terrestrial investment in Mexico and offering the lowest latency route, we are setting a new standard for connectivity between Mexico and the US."
