Benjamin Constant is a municipality in Brazil that serves as a submarine cable landing point. Its inclusion in Brazil's submarine cable network connects it to a broader national infrastructure that spans 22 cables across 64 landing points. One submarine cable lands at Benjamin Constant, making it a single-cable terminus within the country's wider connectivity landscape.
The cable landing here, Norte Conectado (Infovia 02), links Benjamin Constant to other points within Brazil, positioning this landing point as part of a domestic intra-national corridor rather than an intercontinental or transoceanic route. This reflects a distinct character compared to many of Brazil's coastal landing points, which tend to serve international connections.
Norte Conectado (Infovia 02) is a submarine cable with a total length of 1,796 km. It is scheduled for entry into service in 2026 and is currently at draft status. All other endpoints on this cable are also located within Brazil, confirming that it operates as a domestic submarine cable system. At 1,796 km, its length is notably below Brazil's national average cable length of 4,840 km, consistent with a domestic route serving regional connectivity needs within the country.
Among Brazil's submarine cable landing points, Benjamin Constant ranks within the top 81% by cable count, hosting one cable. This places it well behind major hubs such as Fortaleza (10 cables), Rio de Janeiro (8 cables), and Santos (5 cables), and also behind smaller multi-cable locations such as Autazes (2 cables). Benjamin Constant shares its single-cable status with a number of other landing points distributed across Brazil's 64 landing point network.
Benjamin Constant functions as a single-cable terminus in the Brazilian submarine cable graph. Its sole cable, Norte Conectado (Infovia 02), operates entirely within Brazil, meaning this landing point contributes specifically to domestic connectivity rather than to international or intercontinental data exchange. The intra-national orientation of the Norte Conectado system suggests that Benjamin Constant is part of an effort to extend submarine cable reach to parts of Brazil not yet served by the international-facing infrastructure concentrated in coastal cities like Fortaleza and Rio de Janeiro.
Within the broader structure of Brazil's submarine cable network, Benjamin Constant represents the extension of fibre-optic submarine infrastructure into a part of the country served by a relatively short domestic cable. Its role in the regional submarine cable graph lies in broadening the geographic distribution of that network beyond the major coastal landing hubs.
