The current network consists of 5 routing points and another 8 with layer 2 services. This backbone is implemented through the most varied types of contracts, such as dedicated channels, dark fiber, DWDM, and cooperation with other projects. The BELLA Programme

BELLA-S: By securing rights to spectrum on a direct submarine cable between the two regions, BELLA-S will provide for the transatlantic data-sharing needs of the European and Latin American research and education communities for the next quarter of a century. BELLA-S will implement sufficient capacity between the GÉANT and RedCLARA networks to provide for immediate capacity requirements, and will subsequently be able to upgrade capacity as demand requires. The BELLA Programme

BELLA-T: By completing the terrestrial optical fibre network infrastructure of RedCLARA, a significant improvement of the Latin American research and education backbone will be achieved. This enhancement will ensure that the enormous step forward of the transcontinental capacity will be evenly distributed across the region, and through synergies with Latin American NRENs will enhance capillarity and equal access to intercontinental services for all research and education end users in Latin American.
