A Cable Landing Station is the coastal facility where a submarine cable comes ashore and connects to terrestrial fiber, housing the powering and terminal transmission equipment for the subsea system. It is a critical, often secured chokepoint in global connectivity, and its backhaul to nearby interconnection data centers determines how easily international capacity reaches inland markets.
