Contag](http://www.globenet.net/?p=company-leadership&id=1), Chief Operating Officer of GlobeNet. “By utilizing our extremely reliable and high-capacity network, carrier and service providers will also be able to prepare their networks to handle the data and transmission for upcoming South American events, such as 2014 World Cup Brazil and 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio de Janeiro,” adds Luiz Mario Alonso, Director of Engineering and Operations at GlobeNet who lead this upgrade. GlobeNet’s international capacity serves Brazil, Bermuda, Colombia, United States and Venezuela, offering a wide range of [products and services](http://www.globenet.net/?p=products-overview) including International Private Line, Wavelength and Carrier Ethernet.  GlobeNet plans an additional network upgrade later this year that will offer more than 1Terabytes of total capacity.
