Overview

• The system runs 383 kilometers under the Pacific to connect San José del Cabo with Mazatlán, tying Baja California Sur into Telmex’s national backbone.
• Telmex says it invested more than $25 million and designed the project to satisfy regional connectivity demand for at least the next two decades.
• The company presents the cable as an alternate, redundant path intended to preserve voice, data and video services during major storms and other disruptions.
• Installation followed environmental rules with technical and regulatory oversight from SEMARNAT, the Navy (SEMAR), the Baja California Sur government and local authorities.
• CEO Héctor Slim Seade says TMX-5 strengthens a national network he cites at more than 600,000 kilometers and supports tourism, education, health and commerce in the region.
