News Summary:
On January 29, 2026, RCR Wireless News reported on V.tal's Synapse subsea cable, which will span approximately 9,700 kilometers with 16 fiber pairs, adding a new transatlantic path between São Paulo and New Jersey. Previously, on January 28, 2026, Brazil's Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) opted for a more in-depth evaluation of V.tal's acquisition of Um Telecom. CADE denied a summary procedure for the analysis, citing significant horizontal overlap indicators that prevented a rapid, simplified process. This followed V.tal's announcement on January 21, 2026, of its plans for the Synapse international submarine cable, designed to connect Tuckerton, New Jersey, to São Paulo, Brazil. The high-capacity cable is planned to feature up to 16 fiber pairs and 320 Tbps capacity, supporting the increasing demand for AI, cloud services, and hyperscale international traffic.
