EDGE AI DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT
Inference.
At the edge.
We identify and develop highly interconnected sites for AI inference. Existing telecom infrastructure. Strategic new locations. Closer to the networks that serve users.

OUR FOCUS
Developing the
interconnected edge.
Two paths to edge AI infrastructure: bring existing facilities into a new era, or develop in the right connected location.
PURPOSE-BUILT FOR THE INFERENCE ERA
The site is the starting point.
The network is the advantage.
Our specialty is finding and developing locations where AI inference infrastructure can connect to the networks and applications it serves.
Repurpose existing sites
Identify disused edge data centers and telecom facilities, evaluating their existing infrastructure and potential for a new role in AI inference.
Develop strategic locations
Identify and develop new edge data center sites with a focus on strong interconnection, fiber access and diverse network paths.
THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITY
The next edge may
already be standing.
Former and underused telecom facilities can bring together established power service, fiber and proximity to users.

A head start worth investigating.
Megawatt-scale spare power is documented at some telecom sites. In a 2025 interview, Ziply Fiber described four or five sites with more than 1 MW available, alongside many smaller facilities.
Our focus is finding the sites where existing power and interconnection can support a credible development path. For a 1–5 MW opportunity, usable capacity, cooling, electrical conversion and network access must be verified at the individual site.

WHY LOCAL INFERENCE
A shorter path
to a useful answer.
Locating inference near users—and interconnecting with the providers that serve them—can reduce the network portion of response time.
How interconnection reduces network latency ↗Connect to local networks
Rich interconnection with local ISPs and access providers creates opportunities for direct paths, avoiding unnecessary trips through distant network hubs.
Build around the user experience
Shorter network round trips can help conversational AI, voice interfaces and other interactive applications respond more promptly.
Measure the whole response
Geographic proximity is only part of the story. Peering, routing and congestion matter, alongside model execution, available compute and queueing time.
The development perspective
Inference runs on compute. Its reach depends on the infrastructure around it.
THE PHYSICAL FOUNDATION
Connected. Powered. Buildable.
We evaluate each location as part of a connected system.
01 / LANDRoom to develop.
Location, access, planning constraints and room for expansion shape a site’s potential long before construction begins.
02 / POWERA path to capacity.
Available capacity, connection requirements and delivery timelines are central to evaluating a development opportunity.
03 / CONNECTIVITYConnected from the start.
Fiber access, route diversity and proximity to network infrastructure matter alongside the physical site.
INTEGRATED SITE PREPARATION
From site potential
to work on the ground.
Site selection connects with excavation and site engineering through our family-business relationship.
Integrated site preparation brings a practical development perspective into early site discussions.
