Sao Paulo and London are the final points of the 5Gbps link that from June 23 interconnects the scientifics from Europe and Latin America through GÉANT and RedCLARA.

A procurement jointly carried out by DANTE and CLARA during the second half of 2013 was successfully concluded with the awarding of a contract which in June 23, 2014, doubled the capacity between RedCLARa and the pan-European GÉANT network to 5Gbps.

The new link, that goes through the RedCLARA POP in Sao Paulo (Brazil) to the one that GÉANT has in London (England), will be provided by Telecom Italia Sparkle and is expected to be operational very soon, in order to benefit the Latin American research communities and their collaborations with their peers in Europe.
