Atlanta-based DC BLOX, a leading provider of connected data centers and fiber network solutions across the Southeastern United States, announced its plans to build a second subsea Cable Landing Station (CLS) campus in Palm Coast, Florida.

The new location will be the newest global network node supporting international data communications.

Officials said the new campus will complement DC BLOX’s first subsea cable landing station in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and is expected to be operational by Q1 2027.

The officials said the Palm Coast CLS campus will provide global access to the U.S. through a diverse Southeast location, distinct from existing Northern, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern cable landings, ensuring more resilient and reliable international communications.

The Palm Coast CLS campus, anchored by the recently announced Sol cable to Spain, will support five additional subsea cables that will land in Flagler Beach, Florida, and connect terrestrially to the CLS campus in Palm Coast.

The Sol cable that anchors the campus, announced by Google, connects Palm Coast to Bermuda, the Azores, and Spain.

The Sol cable is a high-capacity cable designed for the demands of cloud and AI, is Florida’s first direct connection to Europe since 1999, and it will be the only cable in service between Florida and Europe when it’s lit, the officials said.

They said the Palm Coast Campus reflects DC BLOX’s commitment to building foundational digital infrastructure that supports the Southeast’s rapid population and business growth.

Together with the Myrtle Beach CLS, it underscores DC BLOX’s leadership in creating a hyperscale-enabled ecosystem that addresses the evolving demands of the digital economy, the officials said.

DC BLOX’s operating data centers are located in Birmingham, AL; Huntsville, AL; Chattanooga, TN; Greenville, SC; Myrtle Beach, SC, with new developments underway in Conyers, GA, Douglasville, GA, North Augusta, SC and Montgomery, AL.
