Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station
Connecting Globally: DC BLOX Redefines Hyperscale Cable Landing Stations
Type: Cable Landing Station, Colocation
DC BLOX Cable Landing Station
In partnership with global hyperscale partners, DC BLOX is redefining the hyperscale Cable Landing Station (CLS) with its new facility in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Myrtle Beach CLS, located in the International Technology & Aerospace Park (ITAP), can host up to five subsea cables and colocation space for network and cable operators, communications providers, local enterprises, and partners.
The DC BLOX Myrtle Beach CLS is strategically located on the South Carolina coast between other cable landing locations in Florida and Virginia Beach, where it offers direct access to the rapidly expanding hyperscale data center footprint in the Southeast. The location provides geographic diversity among existing cable landings on the Eastern seaboard and facilitates regional connectivity to the rapidly growing Atlanta area and to Ashburn, VA.
“This facility is going to be a digital hub of epic proportions.”
Lee Livingston, Director of Partnerships, Google
