MIAMI, FL- December 16, 2025 - Liberty Networks, a leading provider of enterprise connectivity and digital infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean, today announced it has been selected by El Salvador’s telecom regulator SIGET (General Superintendence of Electricity and Telecommunications) to construct and deploy the country’s first submarine cable. 

This landmark project will strengthen El Salvador’s digital infrastructure, expand bandwidth capacity, and enhance the country’s connectivity resiliency. Today, the country relies exclusively on land-based links with neighboring nations and has no direct international subsea connections. The new system represents a critical leap forward, delivering improved reliability, greater capacity, and enhanced access for El Salvador’s 6.3 million citizens. 

“We are proud to have been selected for this historic project that will advance El Salvador’s digital future,” said Ray Collins, Liberty Latin America’s SVP of Infrastructure and Corporate Strategy. 

“We thank SIGET for their trust and look forward to the next phase of work to deploy the country’s first submarine cable. This investment goes beyond building critical infrastructure; it lays the foundation for economic growth, innovation, and opportunity for all Salvadorans. Liberty Networks has a long track record of managing complex subsea systems with exceptional reliability and performance, expertise that will ensure the successful deployment and long-term operation of El Salvador’s new subsea cable.” 

El Salvador’s new subsea system is slated to be operational by H2 2028, with the company expected to announce its selected technology partner soon.
