News Summary:
On September 18, 2026, EXA Infrastructure selected Xtera to provide optical engineering and both wet and dry plant components for its planned EXA Meridian subsea cable. Previously, on September 17, EXA Infrastructure detailed the EXA Meridian cable, a 6,552-kilometer transatlantic route designed with 24 fiber pairs and over 500 terabits per second (Tbps) of capacity. This cable, due in late 2029, will link New Jersey in the United States with Brean in the UK, feeding traffic onward to Slough and continental Europe, specifically targeting hyperscalers, neoclouds, and other large bandwidth buyers. Earlier, on September 16, EXA Infrastructure, backed by I Squared Capital, first announced its plans for the EXA Meridian, positioning it as the first transatlantic subsea cable built by an independent operator in a decade, specifying the 6,552 km route would connect New Jersey in the US and Brean in the UK.
