en.Wedoany.com Reported - Over 11 million residents in northeastern Brazil will benefit from a telecommunications infrastructure expansion project funded by the Telecommunications Universalization Fund (Fust).

Brazil's Ministry of Communications, in coordination with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), has released 73.8 million reais (approximately $14.5 million) for the deployment of a new fiber optic network across the states of Pernambuco, Paraíba, and Ceará. The project, undertaken by Aloo Telecom, will build a 1,200-kilometer high-capacity underground line connecting 12 cities, creating a new data transmission corridor between Recife and Fortaleza. The Brazilian government states that this infrastructure will benefit 11.2 million residents across 214 municipalities in the three states.

The project aims to enhance the capacity and redundancy of the telecommunications network, creating conditions for the development of digital services in the interior of the Northeast. The new route is expected to facilitate the expansion of data center deployment beyond major urban centers and support the provision of cloud computing services. During the construction phase, the operator's direct workforce will increase from 350 to 511 employees; after the project becomes operational, it will create over 400 long-term jobs. Since 2023, BNDES Fust projects have cumulatively approved over 3 billion reais to expand connectivity coverage in schools, rural areas, marginalized communities, and broadband networks across Brazil.
