Summary

Flexential has announced that the Bifrost Cable System’s landing station in Winema, Oregon — connected to Flexential’s infrastructure — is now ready for service.
Once fully operational, Bifrost will serve as the newest subsea cable system connecting Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Guam, and North America.
This marks the third large-scale, multi-tenant subsea cable system to terminate in Flexential’s Hillsboro campus — reinforcing its status as a critical connectivity hub for trans-Pacific communications.

What Bifrost Brings

The Bifrost system delivers a direct subsea link between Singapore and the U.S. West Coast, supporting high-capacity, low-latency connectivity.
Flexential’s Hillsboro campus — where Bifrost’s submarine line and interconnection equipment will be housed — becomes the landing and interconnection point for this route.
By hosting Bifrost, Flexential bolsters global connectivity infrastructure, supporting the increasing demand for robust, scalable, international data transit — essential for cloud, digital services, and global enterprise operations.

As stated in the release:

“Subsea cables transmit 99% of intercontinental internet traffic, and Hillsboro is a prime geographic gateway to the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.”

Why This Matters

With digital traffic surging and demand for cross-continent connectivity rising — particularly for cloud services, real-time data transfer, and global operations — Bifrost’s direct link between APAC and the U.S. West Coast is a milestone for global infrastructure. Flexential’s move to host the cable at Hillsboro reinforces its strategic role as a connectivity gateway, enabling enterprises to access Asia-Pacific markets with higher capacity and lower latency.

For companies operating globally — especially those relying on cloud, data-heavy workloads, and real-time services — this opens up better performance, faster data transit, and more resilient international connectivity.
