Alvarães, Brazil is a submarine cable landing point in Brazil. One international cable system comes ashore here.
All 1 systems landing here are domestic: they tie Alvarães into Brazil's national network rather than crossing a border. The gap they close is internal reach, not international capacity, which is why none of them touches a foreign shore.
Documented capacity and vintage vary across the roster: Norte Conectado (Infovia 02) (1,796 km and in service since 2026). Facts for every system are on its own cable page.
A single system lands here, so this point is a genuine dependency rather than a redundant one. Because these systems share the same short stretch of coast and shore infrastructure, a localized event at the landing zone can reach far more capacity than the cable count alone suggests. GeoCables tracks each of these systems individually for exactly this reason.
GeoCables watches these systems continuously rather than describing them once. Since 2026-03-10 we have logged 127 route anomalies across 71 cable systems worldwide. None of the systems landing here has triggered a route anomaly in that window, a stability signal in its own right for a hub of this size. This section updates automatically the moment that changes, as it already has for the 71 other systems flagged across our coverage.
From the GeoCables probe network, best-case round-trip time to Brazil endpoints runs about 234 ms from Singapore, about 260 ms from Minsk and about 264 ms from Tbilisi. These are paths into Brazil from our own vantage points, not a global average, and they shift as operators re-route.
The largest access networks in Brazil sit behind this coastal capacity: Claro NXT Telecomunicacoes Ltda (12.7% of users), TELEFONICA BRASIL S.A (7.9% of users), TIM S/A (3.3% of users) and V tal (2.8% of users). See the full national picture for Brazil.
This landing point is part of a wider shoreline of connectivity. Within roughly 200 kilometres, the coast also hosts Tefé (18 km away, 2 cable systems), Uarini (46 km away, 1 cable system) and Fonte Boa (162 km away, 2 cable systems). Each of these sites brings its own cables ashore, and together they define how much independent capacity, and how much redundancy, this stretch of Brazil really has: if one landing fails or a cable needs maintenance, traffic can often be carried through a neighbour.
