Myrtle Beach cable landing station
Jeff explains that DC BLOX worked closely with hyperscale companies – specifically Google and Meta – who were laying subsea cables that would connect at this location. The scale of the Myrtle Beach facility aligned with DC BLOX’ s established development model.
“ The initial scale of a Myrtle Beach cable landing facility aligned to DC BLOX’ s established development model however we had to reimagine what a hyperscale cable landing station could be to address the changing demands, capacity and scale of AI,” Jeff notes.“ Ultimately, we created a facility that was similar in size to our other market deployments but incorporated the best of traditional cable landing stations and the flexibility of larger hyperscale facilities.”
Bill Thomson, DC BLOX VP of Marketing & Product Management explains the significance:“ Most of the cable landing stations on the eastern seaboard were concentrated in the northeast or Florida, leaving nothing in the mid-Atlantic area. This project finally brought international subsea connectivity to a rapidly growing region.”
This strategic infrastructure investment created demand for additional connectivity solutions.“ Our customers needed a way to connect to Atlanta – the southeast’ s connectivity hub – with high-capacity, dark fibre networks.
