Chile’s Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, working through the TMG–WFN consortium, commissioned WFN Strategies to evaluate the feasibility of a 15,000 km transpacific submarine cable—connecting South America to Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. The project required rigorous economic, technical, and legal analysis under challenging oceanic and geopolitical conditions, making it a groundbreaking effort in global connectivity.

WFN’s role included supporting partner identification led by Fondo de Infraestructura, S.A., and advising on complex logistics associated with undersea transit, multiple landing sites, and integration into existing digital infrastructure. We navigated regulatory landscapes, managed strategic stakeholder engagement, and provided engineering guidance to ensure the project could advance toward implementation readiness.
