ARCOS-1
The Americas Region Caribbean Ring System (ARCOS-1) is a fiber optic submarine communications cable of 8,400 kilometers that extends between the United States, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Curaçao, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico. Because of its length, it was divided in two phases: Phase 1 being in service since September 2001 and Phase II since March 2002. The cable system was set in a ring configuration and is operated on a non-common carrier basis.

gollark: I'm not sure of the context of this, but there are probably microcontrollers or whatever which could do Bluetooth and not need some dedicated receiver on the other end.
gollark: You run the lowish-voltage DC from a solar panel through an inverter which converts it to AC.
gollark: A USB-C port on a laptop might support power delivery *in*, power delivery *out*, two different video output things, sometimes Thunderbolt which is completely different but runs over the same connector, and any regular USB speed from USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen2x2.
