November 17, 2000 - Emergia celebrated its launching in Brazil and the completion of a portion of its fiber optic cable network last night in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The portion of the network between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is now completed and in service. The guests at the inauguration included various companies in the world of telecommunications and dignitaries from the region.

This is the second portion that has been launched of the approximately 25,000 kilometer high-capacity, fiber optic ring that Emergia is currently constructing to connect 12 cable landing stations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Peru, Puerto Rico and the United States.

When complete, Emergia's cable network will connect undersea fiber optic cables with terrestrial infrastructure to provide city-to-city connectivity among principal Latin America cities, the United States and Puerto Rico.
