Global bandwidth demand has been on the rise over the last few years, so the telecommunications marketplace has seen a flurry of activity from carriers that are building out and expanding their undersea and terrestrial networks. The LATAM region in particular has seen huge upticks, as reported by Telegeography, with construction costs of new undersea cables nearing the $1B mark as we head into 2015.
Recently, Erick Contag, COO of GlobeNet sat down with 21st Century Television to talk about how carriers are using technology advancements to meet increasing demand. In this TV segment, Mr. Contag explained that first and foremost carriers must utilize technology within their underlying telecommunications infrastructures - so they will be able to support this high demand for bandwidth. Demand has stemmed from the growing global use of data-intensive devices including smartphones, mobile devices, laptops and tablets coupled with users wanting access to the massive amounts of data and content across social media applications, HD videos, gaming and the Internet in general. There is a lot of content out there and people all over the world want to view it, add to it and use it whenever they want. Carriers like GlobeNet are helping to provide the robust infrastructures to enable seamless access to all of the content and enable our world to stay interconnected.
