Route Connects the Myrtle Beach Cable Landing
Station to Atlanta Connectivity Exchanges
DC BLOX, a premier provider of connected data centers and fiber
network solutions in the Southeast U.S., announced that its new
dark fiber route connecting its Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station
(CLS) to Atlanta has been completed. This unique 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.
On the heels of DC BLOX’s announcement that it has completed its
new Cable Landing Station (CLS) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in
October 2023, this new network enables 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.”
The DC BLOX East-West route offers route diversity for data
traffic between Northern Virginia and Atlanta. Windstream has
previously announced its Beach Route, which will provide
connectivity from Raleigh, North Carolina to Myrtle Beach, SC and
then to points further south.
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.
With the East-West route passing through many rural areas along
its path across South Carolina and Georgia, the route serves as a
network express route to Atlanta for ISPs and local Cooperatives
who are building broadband services for underserved and rural
communities, contributing to efforts to bridge the digital
divide.
“Our recently established fiber route with DC BLOX represents a
strategic collaboration aimed at achieving business success. By
harnessing the advanced infrastructure capabilities of DC BLOX and
our forward-thinking approach, we are paving the way for
unprecedented levels of connectivity and resilience,” said Bobby
Armentrout, Sr. Director of NP&O / Construction at Home
Telecom, the route’s first customer. “This potent synergy positions
us to elevate our operations significantly, enabling the agility,
scalability, and dependability vital for thriving in the digital
era."
