According to TeleGeography, the landing point at Puerto Barrios (Atlantic) serves ARCOS (2001, in service), SAm-1 / South America-1 (2001, in service), America Movil's AMX-1 (2014, in service) and two cables planned for 2026: TAM-1 and TIKAL-AMX3. At Puerto San Jose (Pacific) the landing point serves SAm-1 (2001) and Telxius's SPCS/Mistral (2021), both in service. AMX3/Tikal, from America Movil and Telxius, will link Puerto Barrios with Boca Raton with an estimated initial capacity of 190 Tbps. The AMX-1 landing station at Puerto Barrios is operated by Telecomunicaciones de Guatemala, S.A. (Claro).

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
