Globalinx is set to expand its Virginia Beach cable landing station (CLS) in Virginia.
The operator said it has begun the construction of the expansion at its 11-acre campus to make space for four additional subsea cables, along with the three operational cables in the neighboring Telxius CLS.
The Telxius CLS connects with Globalinx in a Meet-me Room.
The expansion includes the installation of four horizontally directional drilled marine bore pipes into two beach manholes and six miles of front haul conduits.
Completion is currently slated for March 31, 2025.
“As AI and cloud applications drive unprecedented demand for high-capacity, low-latency infrastructure, Globalinx is poised to meet these challenges. Our Virginia Beach expansion represents the future of global connectivity,” said company CEO Greg Twitt. “This new infrastructure strengthens Virginia Beach’s role as a hub for global digital connectivity.”
Globalinx’s Virginia Beach CLS was first planned in 2018 and became operational around five years ago.
The operator said its CLS houses high-capacity subsea cables, supporting the demands of AI and cloud computing. Its CLS also offers both dark and lit fiber services.
Currently, the BRUSA, Dunant, and MAREA cables land at Virginia Beach, with the Confluence-1 cable set to join in 2026.
