About the BRUSA Cable System

BRUSA is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Brazil and United States. Landing at Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro, San Juan, Virginia Beach, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. North-South American cables typically land in Miami or Jacksonville, connecting to Brazil's internet hub in São Paulo — one of the world's largest internet exchange points. Real-time monitoring by GeoCables compares current latency measurements from RIPE Atlas probes against baseline data to identify anomalies on this cable route.
