Sitio is a coastal landing point in Brazil, one of 64 submarine cable landing points distributed across the country's extensive Atlantic coastline. A single submarine cable makes landfall here: the Brazilian Festoon, a domestic cable system that connects multiple points within Brazil. As its name suggests, the Brazilian Festoon operates entirely within Brazilian waters, making Sitio part of a national coastal corridor rather than an intercontinental or trans-oceanic route.
Brazil's submarine cable infrastructure comprises 22 cables across its 64 landing points, and Sitio participates in that network as a single-cable terminus on one of the country's earliest operational cable systems, with the Brazilian Festoon having reached ready-for-service status in 1996. That year marks the beginning of Brazil's modern submarine cable era, and Sitio's connection to the Festoon places it among the earliest nodes in that national network.
The Brazilian Festoon is the sole submarine cable landing at Sitio. Spanning approximately 2,552 kilometres, this cable system reached ready-for-service status in 1996 and remains listed with draft status. The Brazilian Festoon connects a series of landing points exclusively within Brazil, forming a looping coastal route along the country's shoreline. Its design as a domestic festoon system means that all endpoints on the cable are located within Brazilian territory, providing intra-national coastal connectivity rather than links to foreign networks.
Within Brazil's submarine cable landscape, Sitio is a single-cable landing point. Major Brazilian hubs such as Fortaleza, with ten cables, and Rio de Janeiro, with eight, anchor the country's international and domestic submarine connectivity, while Santos, Praia Grande, and Salvador each host between three and five systems. Sitio, alongside other single- or dual-cable landing points, represents the more localised tier of Brazil's 64-node submarine cable network.
Sitio functions as a terminus on a purely domestic cable corridor. The Brazilian Festoon, by connecting multiple Brazilian coastal landing points in a single looping system, allows Sitio to participate in intra-national data routing along the Atlantic seaboard. As a single-cable landing point, Sitio does not serve as a hub for onward international capacity, but rather as one node in a coastal chain that distributes connectivity between Brazilian communities.
In the broader Brazilian submarine cable graph, single-cable landing points like Sitio extend the reach of the national network beyond the major multi-cable hubs, ensuring that the festoon topology can serve a wider set of coastal locations. The presence of even one cable connection links Sitio to the broader national infrastructure first established in 1996.
