Don't settle for anything less than the fastest, most reliable and direct data connections
Up to 99% of the worlds data travels via subsea cables, gain the ultimate advantage by collocating your equipment in our premium carrier-neutral data centres, providing direct access to cable landing stations for the shortest routes, and for the fastest data connections to Asia from the east and west coast of Australia and the most direct connectivity between Perth and Sydney.
JGA-S submarine cable
SC1 is the landing station for the Sunshine Coast International Broadband Network (SCIBN) Cable, which connects to the JGA-S Submarine Cable, providing the fastest data connection to Asia from Australia's east coast.
The SCIBN submarine cable connects to the 7,000km Japan Guam Australia South (JGA S) submarine cable. JGA S is a fibre optic cable consortium that includes AARNet (Australia’s Academic and Research Network), Google and RTI (global sub sea cable operator). The cable terminates in NEXTDC's data centres on the Sunshine Coast (SC1) and Sydney (S1 and S2).
Experience unbeatable connectivity with NEXTDC P2, Perth's premier Uptime Certified Tier IV data centre. Indigo submarine cable is a 9,200 km cable system that connects Singapore, Jakarta, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. The cable terminates in NEXTDC's data centres in Perth (P1 and P2), Sydney (S1, S2 and S3) and Melbourne (M1).
