New Segra 600G route targets hyperscalers

Segra completed a network expansion connecting the Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station to its inland network, creating a new 600G route into Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina. The route provides a direct inland path from Myrtle Beach to Charlotte and Raleigh, with high-capacity access extending to Atlanta and Ashburn, Virginia. The design supports carriers and hyperscalers moving international traffic into key U.S. markets with scalability and improved resiliency. Myrtle Beach is positioned as an international network ingress region as subsea systems land in the area. Charlotte and Atlanta are emerging as inland subsea aggregation markets. The infrastructure combines high-capacity optical systems, low-latency performance, and route diversity as an alternative to congested coastal and inland paths.

"Segra has completed a major network expansion connecting the Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station to its inland network, delivering a new 600G route into Charlotte and Raleigh North Carolina. The newly completed route is designed as a direct inland path from the Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station to Charlotte and Raleigh, with high-capacity network access extending to Atlanta and Ashburn, Virginia. This architecture provides carriers and hyperscalers with a more direct, scalable option for moving international traffic into key U.S. markets."

"As subsea investment accelerates, Myrtle Beach is transforming the Southeast from a backhaul destination into a first-class international network ingress region. With multiple subsea systems now landing in the area, Charlotte and Atlanta are emerging as true inland subsea aggregation markets, rather than extensions of Northern Virginia. Built to support the growing demands of hyperscale and international network providers, the route combines high-capacity optical infrastructure, low-latency performance, and route diversity, offering an alternative to more congested coastal and inland paths."

""This project is about giving carriers and hyperscalers more control over how and where traffic moves," said Dave Kamphuis, Vice President of Carrier Sales at Segra. "With high-speed 600 Gb/s connectivity and a purpose-built inland route, we're providing a scalable, high-capacity option that improves resiliency while supporting the continued growth of global data traffic coming through Myrtle Beach.""

"The Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station now serves as a gateway for international connectivity between the U.S., South America, and Europe, with direct routes to Argentina, Spain, and Portugal across multiple subsea systems. Segra's inland route extends this global connectivity deeper into the U.S., enabling greater flexibility, protec"
