CSN-1 Bonita Springs Cable Landing Station & Data Center: Technical Specs

Status: Pre-Construction / Under Development   |   Location: 27870 Hickory Blvd, Bonita Springs, FL 34134, USA

Project Overview

The CSN-1 Bonita Springs Data Center is a specialized cable landing station and edge telecommunications facility located at 27870 Hickory Blvd in Bonita Springs, Florida, developed by Telconet S.A. through its U.S. subsidiary Telcosub USA. Unlike a conventional enterprise data center focused primarily on server colocation, the facility functions as a critical termination point for international submarine telecommunications infrastructure and provides an important connection between Florida and major Latin American markets. The station serves as the northern terminus of the approximately 4,500-kilometer Carnival Submarine Network-1 (CSN-1) cable system, positioning Bonita Springs as an important landing point for international data traffic between the United States and countries across Central and South America. The CSN-1 system connects the Florida Gulf Coast with landing points in Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador, creating a dedicated subsea pathway for high-capacity telecommunications traffic. The facility is designed as an open-access infrastructure platform, allowing multiple telecommunications operators, carriers, network providers, and other qualified customers to access the submarine cable system rather than restricting the infrastructure to a single network operator. The cable system is capable of delivering up to 20 Tbps per fiber pair, providing substantial bandwidth for international Internet traffic, enterprise communications, cloud services, content distribution, telecommunications, and other data-intensive applications. As a cable landing station, the Bonita Springs facility plays an important role in converting and managing the optical signals carried through the submarine cable before traffic enters terrestrial fiber networks in the United States. Its location on Florida's Gulf Coast provides geographic diversity from Miami-based connectivity infrastructure and creates an additional international entry point for data traveling between the United States and Latin America. The facility can therefore contribute to network resilience by providing alternative international routing options and reducing dependence on a single geographic connectivity corridor. Telconet's involvement also connects the project to a broader telecommunications network serving Latin American markets, particularly Ecuador and neighboring countries. By combining submarine cable termination, high-capacity optical transport, open-access connectivity, and terrestrial network integration, CSN-1 Bonita Springs functions as an important component of the regional telecommunications ecosystem. Overall, the project represents a strategic piece of international digital infrastructure, linking the Florida Gulf Coast directly with Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador while supporting high-bandwidth, low-latency data exchange between North American and Latin American networks.
