NJFX to Build 10MW AI-Ready Liquid-Cooled Data Hall at New Jersey Cable Landing Campus
December 4, 2025
In a strategic move to address the escalating power and cooling demands of artificial intelligence workloads, NJFX has announced a major expansion of its unique cable landing station campus in Wall, New Jersey. The company plans to construct a new 10-megawatt, high-density data hall specifically engineered with liquid-to-chip cooling technology, positioning the facility as a critical interconnection hub for the AI era.
The project, internally named "Project Cool Water," represents a significant investment in next-generation infrastructure. NJFX confirmed the development is backed by an executed electric utility load letter, supported by a $3 million deposit, with a target for power delivery by the end of 2026. Engineering firm Bala Consulting Engineers is collaborating on the design. This expansion will augment the existing 64,800-square-foot, two-story data center located on the company's 10-acre campus.
Gil Santaliz, founder and CEO of NJFX, emphasized the project's alignment with national infrastructure goals. “The vision for NJFX has always been to support US critical infrastructure with purpose-built assets that matter to our global economy,” Santaliz stated. “This new design ensures that subsea cables and global network carriers can continue to scale – now with an advanced data hall engineered for the AI era.”
The NJFX campus is a pivotal gateway for transatlantic and regional connectivity, hosting four major subsea cable systems—Havfrue/AEC-2, Seabras-1, TGN-Atlantic South, and the upcoming Confluence-1—linking North America to Europe and South America. The site already counts 35 network operators and features three meet-me rooms, facilitating dense interconnection. The new liquid-cooled hall is touted as the first purpose-built cable landing station campus in North America designed to support such high-density, AI-ready infrastructure.
The development signals a broader industry trend where cable landing stations are evolving beyond mere interconnection points into powerful, compute-ready data centers. By integrating advanced cooling solutions capable of handling the intense thermal output of AI servers, NJFX is enhancing the value proposition of its campus for hyperscalers, cloud providers, and enterprises seeking low-latency access to global networks and scalable AI capacity.
