Telxius Seeks 25-Year Renewal of South America-1 Subsea Cable License

With the 25-year license of its South America-1 submarine cable network set to expire, Telxius Cable is seeking a renewal. In an FCC application posted Thursday, Telxius said the SAm-1 cable network continues to operate, so the company wants to relicense it until 2051. SAm-1 connects Florida, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala and Peru, offering bulk capacity to wholesale and enterprise customers, the application said.
