Southern Cross NEXT submarine cable
Price and availability check
The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity
The Southern Cross NEXT submarine cable is the most modern and powerful cable system between North America, Australia and New Zealand and forms the main digital artery between the Pacific region and the Australian-New Zealand market. As the successor to the original Southern Cross cable, Southern Cross NEXT sets new standards in terms of capacity and reliability on one of the most important transpacific data routes in the southern hemisphere. Submarine cables such as Southern Cross NEXT form the invisible foundation of global data traffic, with over 99% of international data flowing through them rather than through satellites or the cloud.
Route & connection
Southern Cross NEXT connects Sydney (Australia) and Auckland (New Zealand) with Los Angeles (USA) and Fiji’s main island of Viti Levu as a further landing point. This routing makes Southern Cross NEXT the central cable system for companies that want to connect Australia and New Zealand directly with the North American market. With a total length of around 13,700 kilometers, the cable bridges the South Pacific on one of the region’s most strategically important data routes.
