Florida’s Subsea & Middle-Mile Network Surge

August 11, 2025

Florida is rapidly emerging as a digital crossroads—a convergence point for international subsea cables and domestic middle-mile infrastructure that is reshaping connectivity across the Southeast.

Subsea Fiber – Global Gateways

New subsea landing points and high-capacity systems are enhancing Florida’s role as a major hub for transoceanic data:

• Monet Cable – Connecting Boca Raton to Brazil, delivering 64 Tbps capacity across six fiber pairs.
• Pacific Caribbean Cable System (PCCS) – Linking Jacksonville to the Caribbean, Central, and South America at up to 80 Tbps.
• Palm Coast Cable Landing Station – Under development by DC BLOX, this multi-cable facility will connect Florida to Bermuda, the Azores, and Spain, diversifying U.S. landing points beyond Miami.

Middle-Mile Fiber – Statewide Reach

Back on land, Florida’s middle-mile expansions are closing the gap for rural and underserved areas:

• WANRack Expansion – 45 miles of new fiber from Lakeland through Zephyrhills and Dade City to Hernando County, enhancing interconnectivity for regional ISPs.
• FRBA & NFBA Initiatives – Delivering gigabit-class capacity to hundreds of thousands of rural households and anchor institutions.
• Jacksonville Metro Backbone – Over 500 miles of dense utility-owned fiber supporting enterprise and carrier networks in Northeast Florida.

Why It Matters

The blend of global subsea capacity and robust statewide middle-mile fiber means:

• Faster, more redundant international connectivity.
• Greater resilience beyond the traditional Miami corridor.
• Lower latency routes to Latin America and Europe.
• Expanded broadband equity for Florida’s rural and coastal communities.

This is more than network engineering—it’s about building the infrastructure backbone that will support economic growth, innovation, and digital inclusion for decades to come.
