New Campus to Expand International Access to the Eastern United States for Hyperscalers and Global Communications Providers
ATLANTA, GA. – July 9, 2025 – DC BLOX, a leading provider of connected data centers and fiber network solutions across the Southeastern United States, announced today its plans to build a second subsea Cable Landing Station (CLS) campus in Palm Coast, Florida. This new location will be the newest global network node supporting international data communications.
The Palm Coast CLS campus will provide global access to the US through a diverse Southeast location, distinct from existing Northern, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern cable landings, ensuring more resilient and reliable international communications.
The new facility aligns with industry developments driven by hyperscalers’ ambitious plans to expand international communications infrastructure while offering the key benefits of enhanced route diversification and direct connectivity to key markets.
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 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 Sol cable that anchors the campus, announced by Google today, 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.
Key Features of DC BLOX’s Palm Coast CLS
- Capacity for Hyperscale and Carrier Needs: Designed to support full colocation services, the campus will have capacity for six high-capacity subsea cables.
- Strategic Location: Positioned to enhance connectivity and diversification among subsea cable landings, with direct access to the Southeast’s growing digital infrastructure ecosystem.
- Future-Ready Infrastructure: Built on over 20 acres to accommodate additional expansion, with state-of-the-art reliability, design, and sustainability.
“Florida is once again at the forefront of strengthening our nation’s digital infrastructure. The anchoring of the Sol subsea cable in our state is a testament to our state’s commitment to fostering an environment that is ripe for technological investment and innovation. We are proud to partner with companies like Google and DC BLOX on strategic infrastructure projects that will support the future of AI innovation and bring tangible benefits to our communities and the entire Sunshine State.” – J. Alex Kelly, Florida Secretary of Commerce
“The Sol subsea cable’s arrival in Palm Coast will advance Florida’s position as a technology destination and state-of-the-art connectivity hub, putting the Sunshine State at the forefront of digital infrastructure and accelerating AI in the U.S. We look forward to collaborating with DC BLOX to increase network reliability and resilience in Florida, the United States and across the Atlantic.” – Brian Quigley, VP, Global Network Infrastructure, Google Cloud

With the development of our second cable landing station campus located in Florida, DC BLOX reaffirms its commitment to delivering innovative, high-capacity infrastructure solutions that empower global connectivity and drive economic growth in the Southeast.” – Chris Gatch, Chief Revenue Officer, DC BLOX

The Sol subsea cable is more than just infrastructure; it’s a gateway to unprecedented global connectivity that will attract further high-caliber industries that our residents deserve. We are not just putting Palm Coast and our community on the map; we are building a direct route to the world’s digital economy, ensuring a prosperous and dynamic future for our community.” – Theresa Carli Pontieri, Palm Coast Vice Mayor
