DXN wins fourth cable landing station contract with global internet customer

DXN has secured a A$4.8 million (approximately US$3.4 million) contract with an unnamed global internet company to design, supply and commission a modular Cable Landing Station (CLS) solution for deployment at a Pacific region site under US jurisdiction.

Under the agreement, DXN will engineer, manufacture and commission a complete turnkey CLS solution using its prefabricated module platform, integrating power, cooling, fire suppression, security and monitoring systems.

Manufacturing will commence immediately from DXN's facilities in Malaysia and Western Australia, with delivery to site expected in the first quarter of FY28.

DXN said engineering solutions for the customer have been standardised across successive orders, producing time and cost savings in design, manufacturing, supply chain and delivery.

"With this being the fourth contract with our global internet customer, we now have a deep relationship and understanding of the customer requirements and have been able to help standardise a solution fit for purpose for their global deployment, that is prefabricated, modular and standardised from start to finish," said Shalini Lagrutta, managing director of DXN.

"We look forward to delivering this project on schedule and to the highest quality standards, and to building on this relationship as our customer continues its global infrastructure expansion."

In late July, DXN won a A$1.2 million contract from the Solomon Islands Submarine Cable Company for a CLS, having earlier in the month won a A$1 million contract with the American Samoa Telecommunications Authority (ASTCA) for a CLS.
