With submarine cables providing more than 99% of the world's international data and voice communications, Seaborn continues to play a pioneering role in an industry that is critical to content providers, telecom operators, ISPs, governments and cloud-centric enterprises.
"This recognition helps to confirm Seaborn's strategy as a unique management-controlled, developer-owner-operator of transoceanic subsea systems," said Larry Schwartz
Seaborn is the developer-owner-operator of Seabras-1, the only direct subsea system between São Paulo, Brazil and New York, USA. In addition, Seaborn is actively developing the ARBR subsea system between Argentina - Brazil and the SABR subsea system between South Africa - Brazil.
