Rio Branco is the capital of the state of Acre, situated in the valley of the Acre River in northern Brazil. As the westernmost major settlement in the country, it occupies a distinctive geographic position at the far interior of the Amazon region. One submarine cable lands at Rio Branco, connecting it to the broader Brazilian domestic cable network.
The single cable serving Rio Branco, Norte Conectado (Infovia 06), operates entirely within Brazil, making this an intra-national rather than international submarine cable landing point. This positions Rio Branco as part of a domestic connectivity corridor designed to link remote and interior Brazilian municipalities through undersea infrastructure.
Norte Conectado (Infovia 06) is the sole submarine cable landing at Rio Branco. This cable is currently in draft status and connects locations exclusively within Brazil. Norte Conectado (Infovia 06) forms part of an initiative to extend submarine cable infrastructure into the interior and northern regions of Brazil, areas that are geographically distant from the country's main coastal landing hubs. No length or ready-for-service date is available for this cable.
Within Brazil's submarine cable landscape, Rio Branco hosts one cable across 64 landing points nationally, placing it in the lower tier of Brazilian landing points by cable count. Major coastal hubs such as Fortaleza (10 cables), Rio de Janeiro (8 cables), and Santos (5 cables) serve as the primary international and domestic gateways. Rio Branco is more comparable in scale to Autazes, another interior Brazilian landing point hosting two cables, reflecting the emerging effort to extend submarine cable infrastructure beyond Brazil's Atlantic coastline into inland regions.
Rio Branco functions as a single-cable terminus within Brazil's domestic submarine cable network rather than as a multi-cable hub. Its connection through Norte Conectado (Infovia 06) links this far-western Amazonian capital into a national submarine infrastructure that otherwise concentrates heavily along Brazil's Atlantic coast. The cable's entirely intra-Brazilian routing underscores that Rio Branco's role is one of domestic reach, extending connectivity to a state capital that is geographically separated from the country's main population and infrastructure centers.
In the broader Brazilian submarine cable graph, Rio Branco represents the extension of undersea cable technology into the country's interior, demonstrating that submarine cable infrastructure in Brazil is not limited to coastal or international routes but also serves the connectivity needs of remote inland capitals.
