The development of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) phasing system (APS) has allowed ALMA to function as an extraordinarily sensitive station for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) at frequencies of up to 230 GHz (~1.3 mm). Efforts are now underway to extend use of the APS to 345 GHz (~0.87 mm). Here we report a characterization of APS performance at 345 GHz based on a series of tests carried out between 2015-2021, including a successful global VLBI test campaign conducted in 2018 October in collaboration with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).
