¿Qué se sabe de la reparación del cable submarino de internet que alimenta a Venezuela afectado?

One month after the June 24 earthquakes, Román Lozinski interviews journalist and technology specialist Alcides León to assess Venezuela's telecommunications infrastructure and the critical state of the South America Crossing (SAC) submarine cable, operated by Sirion Technologies. This cable, one of the country's main data arteries, suffered a complete break 100 meters offshore from the central coast. The specialist explains in detail the operations of the specialized vessel Wave Sentinel, which arrived from Guadeloupe after a stop in Curaçao to carry out the complex repair protocol for the fiber optic cable. León delves into the technical maneuvers with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the operating costs of underwater engineering, and how telecommunications companies (such as Inter, Movistar, Digitel, and Movilnet) managed to mitigate the emergency by diverting traffic to international entry points in Falcón, Colombia, and by using Starlink as a temporary backup. 📌 Highlights: 00:00 Strategic Importance of Submarine Fiber Optic Cables 01:10 Presentation by Alcides León 02:05 The Role of Sirion Technologies 02:55 Internet Redundancy 03:40 Damage to Terrestrial Infrastructure 05:25 Phases of Technical Repair 06:20 The Use of Remotely Operated Submersible Vehicles (ROVs) 08:10 Marine Engineering Costs 09:05 Reducing Bureaucratic Processing Times with CONATEL 10:00 Local Interconnection Agreements 11:50 The Initial Deployment of Starlink Satellite Internet 12:40 Physical Characteristics of the SAC Submarine Cable 14:50 Security in Financial Transactions 15:40 Estimated Times for Full Reconnection 16:35 Solidarity and Free Data 17:30 Status of the Inter Network 18:25 Formalization and Use of Starlink Technology Visit us at https://mundour.com/ Instagram:   / mundourweb   Instagram:   / circuitoexitos   Twitter:   / circuitoexitos   Tiktok:   / circuitoexitos
