In a move to strengthen global connectivity, fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty (1547) and Harrison Street are expanding the AlohaNAP data center in O‘ahu, Hawaii, positioning it as a crucial hub for trans-Pacific communication. This project is part of the companies’ broader strategy to enhance their connectivity-focused data center portfolio, making AlohaNAP an even more vital link between the US mainland and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
AlohaNAP’s unique infrastructure sets it apart from other data centers. With direct access to five submarine cable networks and over 40 communication satellites, it is one of the few multi-tenant, carrier-neutral facilities with both satellite and subsea fiber connections. This connectivity provides a critical advantage for companies requiring efficient, reliable data transmission between APAC and the United States, as well as local Hawaiian carriers and international long-haul networks.
“AlohaNAP is a crucial hub for international data transmission, connecting major global markets and serving as a key edge node for trans-Pacific connectivity within Hawaii’s rapidly expanding edge computing market,” said Michael Borchetta, Managing Director at Harrison Street. He added that expanding AlohaNAP strengthens their portfolio by adding valuable scale and diversity, particularly with its submarine cable and satellite access.
