Awards for Outstanding Performance
Technology & capacity
EllaLink has four fiber pairs and was built by ASN. The transmission technology is based on coherent DWDM technology in the C-band.
- 4 fiber pairs: 100 Tbit/s design capacity, 72 Tbit/s usable during commissioning
- Coherent DWDM C-band technology: Minimal signal loss over the entire route
- Under 60 ms Roundtrip Lisbon-Fortaleza: Lowest available latency on this route
- No US touch: Fully sovereign data route for Europe-LATAM traffic, EU co-funded
Provider Overview
SAVECALL as access to EllaLink
EllaLink is the superior alternative to any US-transited route for companies with connections between Europe and Brazil, both technically and from a data protection perspective. Latency is around 50 percent lower and routing sovereignty is complete. As a carrier-independent private network without a traditional consortium structure, EllaLink offers more direct negotiation processes than many other cable systems. SAVECALL knows the available capacity models on this system and sources directly from the operator. We benchmark transparently against all transatlantic alternatives and deliver the solution that fits your latency, redundancy and budget profile.
The result for our customers:
- Direct capacity access to EllaLink without reseller chains
- Negotiation of IRU structures and leased capacity models
- Transparent price benchmarking against all available alternatives
- True route diversity through independent redundancy planning
- Clear SLAs and ongoing capacity management

Frequently asked questions about the EllaLink cable
EllaLink connects Europe directly with South America, specifically Sines (Portugal) with Fortaleza (Brazil), with landings on Madeira and Cape Verde. Terrestrial extensions reach Lisbon, Madrid and Marseille as well as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It is the first direct high-capacity route between the two continents.
The round trip between Lisbon and Fortaleza is under 60 milliseconds, and between Marseille and São Paulo under 120 milliseconds. This cuts latency by around 50 percent compared with the previous standard via North America. For latency-sensitive applications such as trading, voice or cloud, that is the decisive difference.
EllaLink has a design capacity of 100 Tbit/s across four fiber pairs, with 72 Tbit/s usable at commissioning. Transmission is based on coherent DWDM technology in the C-band. The system was built by the manufacturer ASN.
EllaLink carries data between Europe and Brazil without touching US-American infrastructure. The route stays fully within European and South American jurisdiction, which makes it attractive for GDPR-sensitive applications and data sovereignty. The system was partly co-funded through the EU BELLA programme and the EIB.
It depends on location and requirement. For connections between Europe and Brazil, EllaLink is more direct, lower in latency (around 50 percent) and free of US transit. A route via North America can make sense where strong US connections already exist. SAVECALL compares both paths vendor-neutrally and plans a physically separate second route for redundancy where needed.
Companies get capacity on EllaLink through direct contracts with the operator, not through reseller chains. SAVECALL negotiates IRU structures and leased capacity models directly, benchmarks transparently against all transatlantic alternatives and plans redundancy at the same time. The starting point is a free consultation on locations, bandwidth and routing.
