Digital Realty to add subsea cable landing station at Los Angeles campus
Digital Realty will build a cable landing station at its LAX12 facility in Los Angeles. The station will connect submarine cables to the company's data center campus. The project expands Digital Realty's network infrastructure in California.
Digital Realty’s planned cable landing station at its LAX12 site in Los Angeles will link submarine cables to its data center campus. The addition is described as an expansion of the company’s network infrastructure in California. In the broader telecom and 5G landscape, such landing points can serve as connection points between undersea communications routes and terrestrial data facilities, though the available details do not specify capacity, partners, or timing.
The project could affect businesses, network operators, and residents in and around Los Angeles by potentially improving how data moves between undersea cables and local digital infrastructure. Greater connectivity may support more reliable or faster services, though actual outcomes depend on how the facility is used. It may also reinforce the region’s role as a digital hub, with effects on competition and investment that are not yet clear.
