Hawaiki Submarine Cable LP has extended its US presence from Hillsboro, OR to the Westin Building Exchange (WBX) carrier hotel and data center in Seattle, WA to support its clients’ capacity requirements between New Zealand, Australia, and the United States.

Launched in July 2018, the Hawaiki transpacific cable is a 15,000 km fibre optic deep-sea, carrier-neutral cable with a design capacity of 67 Tbps. Hawaiki is the fastest and largest capacity link connecting Australia and New Zealand to Hawaii and mainland United States.

Hawaiki selected the Westin Building Exchange based upon the large number of global carriers, simplified connectivity options and available cloud services that has been the hallmark of the original transpacific, terabit fiber hub on the U.S. West coast.
