Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes

Landing station for the Hawaiki trans-Pacific submarine cable (completed 2018), providing 43 terabits of carrier-neutral capacity via six fiber pairs to the US west coast, Australia, New Zealand and American Samoa. DRFortress has operated landing and colocation activities here under a long-term partnership with Hawaiki dating to 2016; 1547 Critical Systems Realty (which acquired DRFortress in 2025) lists a Kapolei facility ("HAII1", branded AlohaNAP-adjacent, ~10,200 sq ft expandable to 60,200 sq ft) that is treated here as the same site rather than a separate parcel, since both describe DRFortress/1547 colocation activity at the one cable landing station Hawaiki owns in Kapolei. In early 2026 the Honolulu City Council granted a Special Management Area Major Permit for an expansion project at this site to add landing capacity for Google's Taihei and Tabua cables plus BW Digital's own Hawaiki Nui cable. Coordinates are a Census TIGER-line geocode of the street address, not a confirmed parcel survey.

Hawaiki's 2025 Final EA describes the existing CLS (permitted mainly in 2017) as a building of about 3,850 sq ft with two diesel generators in a sound-dampened generator room. The planned expansion adds only landing infrastructure (up to three bores, one beach manhole and conduits) on the adjacent 22-acre parcel. It requires no expansion of the CLS building, no new above-ground infrastructure and no added staff.
