The first fiber optic network launched in Espírito Santo was Metro-ES, which serves about 120 public agencies. The Anel da Enseada is responsible for serving the State Court of Justice (TJ-ES), State Court of Auditors (TCE-ES), and Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPES), as well as the state legislative power.
The government says that ES-Digital will allow internal and public services to be provided more efficiently, leading to cost reductions. It will also improve tax collection mechanisms and the management of administrative and judicial processes, according to Prodest.
