Millicom International Cellular S.A. (TIGO) announced a long‑term commercial agreement with Trans Americas Fiber System (TAFS) to integrate TAFS’s open‑access, carrier‑neutral TAM‑1 subsea fiber optic network into its international infrastructure.
The TAM‑1 system spans roughly 7,000 kilometers and delivers a minimum of 18 terabits per second per fiber pair. It connects the United States, the Eastern Caribbean, Central America, and South America, with specific links from Hollywood, Florida to Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras, and from Vero Beach, Florida to St. Croix, Puerto Rico, Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia.
This partnership aligns with Millicom’s asset‑light, customer‑centric strategy by adding route diversity, redundancy and scalability to its network. “We are excited to announce our strategic involvement in TAM‑1, part of the Trans Americas Fiber System – a cutting‑edge submarine cable designed to transform communications across the Americas,” said Alejandro Guerrero, VP of Strategic Operations & Wholesale Solutions.
Millicom’s Q4 2025 results—revenue of $1.7 billion, up 15.7 % YoY, and Adjusted EBITDA of $778 million, up 25.9 % YoY—demonstrate the company’s strong financial foundation for investing in infrastructure. “The fourth quarter marked another record‑setting period for Millicom and a powerful close to what has been the strongest year in our company’s history,” said CEO Marcelo Benitez.
Commercial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. RFS dates for the northern and southern segments of TAM‑1 are expected in Q2/Q3 2026, though exact dates remain to be confirmed. The partnership positions Millicom to meet the region’s rapidly rising demand for reliable, high‑capacity connectivity while supporting future digital inclusion initiatives.
