LinkBermuda Teleport: Tier 3 5MW Strategic Edge Node
Status: Active / Operational | Location: 1 Middle Rd, Devonshire, FL 01, Bermuda
Project Overview
The LinkBermuda Teleport Data Center is Bermuda’s leading mission-critical digital infrastructure facility, strategically designed to provide exceptional resilience, connectivity, and operational reliability for both regional and international clients. Functioning as a major subsea cable landing station and satellite communications ground hub, the facility plays a central role in Bermuda’s telecommunications and global data connectivity ecosystem. Positioned on the island’s highest central elevation to naturally reduce flood exposure, the purpose-built bunker-style campus is specifically engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including Category 5 hurricanes and severe Atlantic storm activity The campus houses two separate SOC 2 Type II certified facilities the DC-1 Hosting Center and the eBusiness Solutions Center (eBSC) both equipped with advanced security systems, redundant power infrastructure, environmental controls, and high-availability network architecture. The facility supports Bermuda’s financial institutions, international reinsurance firms, cloud providers, and space industry organizations that require secure low-latency connectivity, disaster resilience, and reliable transatlantic interconnection to North American and global networks.
