Bolivia’s state-owned operator Entel has reportedly signed an interconnection agreement with Chilean operator Claro Chile to create what is being called a bioceanic route.
The route will connect the Atlantic with the Pacific, strengthening Bolivia's position as a regional data corridor.
According to the news service BNamericas, Bolivia seeks to position itself as a direct highway for international data flow through partnerships with operators and investments in fibre optic infrastructure.
Entel announced the consolidation of its Pacific-Atlantic project in March, when it expanded its fibre optic network that connects both oceans with a point of presence (PoP) in São Paulo.
This PoP was added to the Lima-São Paulo fibre optic route, which has been operational since 2024.
