On an island this means losing the submarine link; on the mainland traffic can still go over land.
No alerts from our monitoring on this cable in the last 180 days. Events feed →
Counted: other international cables landing in the same country (domestic cables between points of one country are not a way out), other cables at landing points within 50 km, and whether the country has land links. Not counted: cable capacity, operator contracts and satellite. Use as a first look at dependence, not as a statement of what would happen.

Norte Conectado (Infovia 05) is a regional submarine cable system that connects nine cities within Brazil, forming a critical part of the country's domestic telecommunications infrastructure. The cable is designed to improve connectivity in remote and underserved areas, supporting the growing demand for reliable and high-speed internet access. While specific details about its operational status, capacity, or technical specifications are not publicly available, its strategic importance lies in bridging the digital divide across diverse regions of Brazil. By linking urban centers and remote communities, the cable plays a key role in fostering economic activities, enhancing social services, and supporting the digital transformation of the country.
The Norte Conectado (Infovia 05) submarine cable system spans several locations in Brazil, connecting cities along the Amazon River and its tributaries. Its landing points are:
The route primarily follows the course of the Amazon River and its surrounding waterways, making it an important infrastructure project in a region where dense forests and challenging terrain often hinder the deployment of traditional terrestrial networks. These landing points serve as vital hubs for connecting remote communities to the broader national and global digital ecosystem. By linking these cities, the cable facilitates improved access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities in regions that have historically faced connectivity challenges.
The Norte Conectado (Infovia 05) cable is operated under the Infovia initiative, a program aimed at expanding Brazil's telecommunications infrastructure. While the specific ownership structure of this cable is not detailed, the Infovia initiative is part of a broader effort by the Brazilian government to enhance digital connectivity across the country, particularly in remote and underserved areas. This project is a continuation of Brazil's commitment to leveraging technology for social and economic development.
The cable is one of several under the Norte Conectado program, which seeks to deploy a network of submarine cables to improve internet access in the northern regions of Brazil. This initiative reflects the country's recognition of the critical role that digital infrastructure plays in fostering economic growth and social inclusion. The inclusion of multiple landing points along the Amazon River highlights the project's focus on connecting remote and isolated communities, which often lack reliable access to modern telecommunications services.
Our monitoring indicates that the Norte Conectado (Infovia 05) cable is a vital component of Brazil's domestic telecommunications network, particularly in the northern region of the country. The cable's route through the Amazon basin underscores its importance in connecting areas where terrestrial infrastructure is limited due to challenging geographical conditions. By providing a stable and reliable data transmission pathway, the cable enhances internet access and supports the digital needs of both urban and rural populations.
Our probes suggest that the cable has significantly improved connectivity in its landing cities, enabling better access to digital resources for education, healthcare, and commerce. In regions like Porto Velho and Humaitá, where traditional connectivity options are scarce, the cable has likely reduced latency and increased bandwidth availability. This has had a tangible impact on local communities, fostering opportunities for economic development and improving the quality of life for residents.
Overall, Norte Conectado (Infovia 05) represents a critical step in addressing Brazil's digital divide, particularly in the Amazon region. Its role in enhancing connectivity underscores the importance of continued investment in submarine cable infrastructure to support the country's long-term development goals.
