Fiber optic lines and data center locations

Site your data center successfully with the locations of fiber optic lines, including their type, status, ownership information, and placement. Also find the locations and details of thousands of operational and in-development data centers.

Smart Sites (in beta)

Quickly identify contiguous land for large project sites with auto-generated clusters of adjacent parcels that meet your minimum acreage and other siting criteria. This saves you time when greenfielding projects in regions where parcels are small or environmental and topographical constraints can reduce buildable acreage.

Gain perspective on the scope and scale of community sentiment on social channels. Find details on petitions and activity in Facebook Groups and on X (formerly Twitter). For each, get a summary, when they were created, the number of signatures/members, and a link.
