Barcelona Cable Landing Station
Barcelona Cable Landing Station (Barcelona CLS) is part of AFR-IX telecom, a Barcelona-based infrastructure and telecom operator that sells internet access in more than 50 African countries. The company planned the station in 2019 as an open access landing point for subsea cable owners and a neutral interconnection site for carriers, ISPs and content providers.
The two-storey building at Ramon Viñas 4 sits in the media and digital hub of the 22@ innovation district, 0.7 km from the beach landing site. It has eight submarine system rooms, a 400 m² colocation hall and two meet-me rooms, built to a Tier 4 design topology. The station went live in October 2022, when the 2Africa cable landed, and it now houses two international submarine cable systems. The facility cost €10 million.
