A three-phase engagement that takes a candidate site from an unknown fiber risk to a fully scoped connectivity plan — before you commit capital or break ground.
A foundational evaluation of existing fiber infrastructure around the site.
A detailed examination of carrier routes, splice locations, and last-mile planning.
Connectivity plans, RFPs, and construction coordination through to build-out.
A fundamental evaluation of the existing fiber infrastructure surrounding potential data center locations — including the underlying owner, underground and aerial capacity (both lit and dark), and the site's ability to support a new data center. Phase 1 gives you a foundational roadmap before any further commitment.
A first-pass review of the site and its surrounding fiber landscape to flag any immediate red flags before deeper analysis begins.
We identify and document every carrier, conduit, and route within reach of the site — the baseline map everything else builds on.
We determine who actually owns each route and what its physical characteristics are, since "available" fiber and "usable" fiber are not always the same thing.
A more detailed examination of carriers' networks, manhole splice locations, and high-level strategic planning — including last-mile routing, right-of-way (ROW) study for preferred routing, and rough order of magnitude (ROM) costing and deployment approach.
A deeper technical review of every viable route, validating and extending what Phase 1 identified.
We evaluate available interconnection points, meet-me rooms, and carrier hotels within reach of the site.
We confirm strand counts and headroom for future buildout phases, not just what's needed on day one.
For sites with international or hyperscale requirements, we assess connectivity back to major global routes and exchange points.
For sites with international or hyperscale requirements, we assess connectivity back to major global routes and exchange points.
We create plans for connectivity from major infrastructure to the data center facility — including route diversity considerations, technology selection, and cost optimization. Your strategy as developer or operator dictates the next steps, which can include writing RFPs, producing engineering drawings, and managing construction.
We translate the analysis into an actionable connectivity plan aligned with your construction timeline.
We finalize the last-mile build plan, including engineering drawings and construction coordination.
We manage the RFP process and carrier negotiations directly, so you get competitive terms without becoming a telecom project manager.
We design the on-campus fiber infrastructure to support current and future phases of the build.
