The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity

EllaLink is the first direct high-capacity submarine cable link between Europe and South America. The cable connects Sines (Portugal) with Fortaleza (Brazil) with landings at Madeira and the Cape Verde Islands, without touching the US-American region. The round trip between Portugal and Brazil takes less than 60 milliseconds, from Marseille to São Paulo less than 120 milliseconds.

This means that EllaLink reduces latency on this route by around 50% compared to the previous standard via North America. For companies with connections between Europe and Brazil, Argentina or the LATAM region, EllaLink is the technically superior and preferred routing option in terms of data protection.

Route & connection

EllaLink connects Sines (Portugal) with Fortaleza (Brazil) and the landing points of Funchal (Madeira) and Praia (Cape Verde). Terrestrial extensions connect Lisbon, Madrid and Marseille on the European side as well as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Planned extensions will lead to Cayenne (French Guiana) and the Canary Islands. The total length of the underwater segment is around 5,900 kilometers.

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.
