Australia’s DXN To Supply Prefabricated Data Center To Melbourne Airport

Australian data center firm DXN has secured a AU$4.1 million (US$2.9m) contract to supply a prefabricated Edge data center to Melbourne Airport. The facility will support critical ICT infrastructure as part of the airport’s development plan. DXN is expected to deliver the data center by the end of H1 2027.

Shalini Lagrutta, DXN's managing director, said: "Melbourne Airport is precisely the kind of Edge site where our model delivers the most value. Critical ICT infrastructure needs to sit close to the operations it supports, and it must be delivered without disrupting an airport that runs around the clock. Being selected by the operator of one of Australia's largest airports is a strong endorsement of DXN's capability to deliver complex, mission-critical infrastructure for major infrastructure owners."

DXN has also secured a AU$1.6m variation to its existing contract with satellite operator Globalstar, covering additional project and logistics costs. The company has delivered more than 100 modular data centers to customers including DP World, Anglo American, Boeing, Globalstar, and several mining firms. It has also supplied modules for cable landing stations.
