A parcel with a nearby transmission line is not automatically data-center ready. The best site is the one whose constraints are visible early enough to be engineered, financed, and explained.
PoeTech evaluates utility capacity and interconnection timing alongside redundant fiber routes, water strategy, flood and weather exposure, zoning, transportation, labor availability, and community impact. Those factors belong in one decision model.
The result should be an executable readiness map with risks, owners, decision gates, and a realistic sequence from diligence through commissioning.
