DC BLOX activated a new dark fiber route connecting its Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station (CLS) to Atlanta. The new high-capacity East-West route serves as the new backbone to the Southeast region enabling hyperscalers, global and regional communications providers, local ISPs and enterprises to connect regionally and internationally.
In October 2023, DC BLOX completed its new Cable Landing Station (CLS) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The new fiber route provides direct terrestrial connectivity from the CLS to the rapidly growing data center and communications center of Atlanta. The route runs from Myrtle Beach, SC, near Charleston, SC, through Augusta, GA to the major downtown connectivity centers in Atlanta including 56 Marietta Street, and on to the growing data center base in Lithia Springs, GA.
“With our regional colocation data centers, the Myrtle Beach CLS, our regional network, and this new dark fiber route, DC BLOX is building the infrastructure needed to support the Southeast’s rapid growth,” said Kurt Stoever, Chief Operating Officer of DC BLOX. “Digital infrastructure is the foundation that will drive the economies of the 21st century, and DC BLOX is proud to be enabling our communities to thrive.”
DC BLOX is also building a dark fiber ring around Atlanta which will connect into two hyperscale-ready data center facilities in development east and west of the city. The metro-Atlanta fiber ring will also connect to the East-West route further expanding global connectivity options from the area.
