Southern Cross NEXT submarine cable lands in Hermosa Beach, CA

摘要

Pacific Carriage Limited Inc. (PCL), which owns the Southern Cross Cable Network in the U.S., has announced that its new Southern Cross NEXT cable (SX NEXT) undersea cable has landed at the HMB Ⅸ facility in Hermosa Beach, CA. PCL expects the SX NEXT cable to be ready for service next year. SX NEXT will offer 72 Tbps of capacity between the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand, with branches to Fiji, Tokelau, and Kiribati. The submarine cable will connect into Southern Cross' existing data center locations in Los Angeles (Equinix LA1 and CoreSite LA1) and Silicon Valley (Equinix SV1, Equinix SV8 and CoreSite SV1). In addition to complementing PCL's existing Southern Cross infrastructure, SX NEXT also will represent the first direct submarine cable link between the U.S. and Tokelau and Kiribati.
