DXN Limited (DXN) has announced its first Data Centre as a Service (DCaaS) agreement with a US-based global provider of satellite earth stations. The contract involves designing, building, and deploying prefabricated technical infrastructure at an initial site in the Northern Territory. The Total Contract Value (TCV) for this first site is approximately $3.6 million over five years, including an upfront payment of around $0.6 million.
The agreement includes recurring revenue for maintenance and management services over the five-year period, with an option to renew for an additional five years. The US customer has indicated a potential for DXN to secure multiple additional sites across regional Australia, presenting further revenue opportunities.
The contract comprises an upfront fee for the design and construction of prefabricated modular solutions and an ongoing monthly fee for managed services. The target deployment date is set for August 2025. Design work has already commenced at the initial site.
