DC BLOX is planning the expansion of its Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station (CLS). The Atlanta-based digital infrastructure company recently acquired 20 acres in the Myrtle Beach International Technology and Aerospace Park to construct the future campus pending additional demand, which would accommodate up to five additional subsea cables and deliver an extra 20MW of power capacity from the on-site substation. This location leverages a strategic coastal setting ideal for subsea system entry points and further positions the campus as a hub for intercontinental communication. When completed, the twin facilities (MYR1 and MYR2) would support as many as ten subsea systems, strengthening global data links between the U.S. and international markets.
The original Myrtle Beach CLS (MYR1), launched in 2023, serves as one of the largest facilities of its kind on the east coast. It hosts high-profile cables such as Firmina, Anjana, and Nuvem, offering direct connectivity to an expanding ecosystem of hyperscaler, carrier, and enterprise partners. The site’s hurricane wind-rated facilities, 19MW of power capacity, and strategic location enable diverse routing options along the Eastern Seaboard, an increasingly valuable asset given the region’s data growth and resiliency needs.
The expansion plans for MYR2 come in response to surging demand from global carriers and hyperscale partners. DC BLOX has been rising to meet that demand across the Southeast by creating a strong foundation for digital infrastructure, including interconnected data centers in states including Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina; a dark fiber network spanning from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach; new data center developments underway in several states; and a second CLS announced this year in Palm Coast, FL. These operational and planned facilities form a resilient network designed to serve hyperscalers, communications providers, and enterprises that rely on low-latency, high-bandwidth infrastructure to support next-generation digital applications in the area.
With cloud and AI adoption driving unprecedented data traffic, cable landing stations have taken on renewed importance for worldwide network resiliency. This news showcases that regional investments and innovation can meet global needs. By scaling its subsea, edge, and hyperscale capabilities in tandem, DC BLOX is positioning the Southeast as a key bridge in the global digital economy, linking continents, communities, and the future of connectivity.
