COSTA RICA

摘要

Global Crossing announced the lighting of its new fiber-optic submarine cable in Esterillos of Parrita, Puntarenas. Global Crossing; Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE), the state-run entity responsible for Costa Rica s telecommunications; and the Radiogr fica Costarricense S.A. (RACSA) hosted a ceremony at the new Unqui cable station in the town of Esterillos. Costa Rican President Oscar Arias along with executives from Global Crossing, ICE and RACSA attended the event to launch the new system. This much anticipated fiber-optic submarine cable will facilitate the expansion of ICE s international network to the rest of the world through Global Crossing s network, allowing Costa Rica to increase reliability of its international telecommunications and strengthen the country s competitiveness, not only within Latin America, but on a worldwide scale.
