The submarine cable Mazatlán - San José del Cabo project strengthens bandwidth and resilience along Mexico’s Pacific coast, linking Sinaloa and Baja California Sur by August.
Beneath Pacific waves and along the Sinaloa shore, technicians complete the final stretch of the submarine cable Mazatlán project. This undersea link will unite Mazatlán with San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, boosting voice, data and video capacity across Mexico’s west coast.
Carlos Iván Herrera, engineer for Telmex’s Hermosillo Backbone Network, leads ground operations. He says crews expect full service by August’s end after six months of work. “This cable opens an alternate route for emergencies and averts disruptions from hurricanes,” Herrera explains.
In shallow waters, dive teams use a seeding method. They lightly trench the seabed and bury the cable to shield it from shifting sands and human impact. “We secure the infrastructure in vulnerable zones,” Herrera notes. Offshore work requires precision equipment and close coordination with marine authorities.
On land, around 30 technicians and engineers from Telmex and Grupo Carso handle urban trenching. They link the landing point to . . .
