Australian Firm DXN Wins $1.4 Million Contract to Deploy Edge Data Center in the Pacific
December 11, 2025
The strategic expansion of edge computing infrastructure is critical for improving connectivity in geographically dispersed regions. Australian modular data center specialist DXN Limited has secured a significant contract to advance this goal in the Pacific, underscoring the growing demand for prefabricated, rapidly deployable digital infrastructure.
The company announced this week it has been awarded a contract valued at AU$1.4 million (approximately US$931,000) by a leading communications and IT services provider. The agreement entails the design, construction, and installation of a prefabricated edge data center module at an undisclosed location in the Pacific region, with completion targeted for the end of June 2026. The customer, which connects remote industrial operations globally, aims to use the facility to boost internet connectivity across the Pacific and support a global ground network by mid-2026.
This project expands DXN's footprint in the Asia-Pacific and leverages its established expertise in modular construction. To date, the company has delivered more than 100 modular data centers to a diverse client base including DP World, AngloAmerican, Boeing, and satellite operator Globalstar. It has also previously provided critical cable landing station modules for major subsea cables like the Oman-Australia Cable and the Echo cable system.
Commenting on the award, Shalini Lagrutta, Managing Director of DXN, stated: "We are thrilled to be awarded this landmark project, which not only expands our footprint in the Asia-Pacific but also leverages our modular construction capabilities to support cutting-edge infrastructure. This award reinforces DXN's position as a trusted partner for innovative, prefabricated solutions for mission-critical applications."
The deal highlights a broader industry trend where telecommunications and service providers are increasingly turning to specialized modular builders to expedite the deployment of edge infrastructure. Such partnerships are essential for bridging digital divides in remote and island nations, enabling lower-latency services and supporting next-generation connectivity projects across vast oceanic territories.
