In Brazil's growing tech industry, particularly in São Paulo's startup ecosystem, the term 'backbone systems' is increasingly used in English even by Portuguese speakers due to the dominance of English-language technical documentation. However, Portuguese translations like 'infraestrutura de rede principal' or 'sistemas de espinha dorsal' are preferred in formal and educational contexts. In the USA, especially in tech hubs like Silicon Valley and NYC, the term is standard jargon in IT and telecommunications sectors.
