RadiusDC develops and operates network connectivity hubs across the United States. These are buildings where internet and network providers connect, helping everyday online services run faster and with less delay for homes and businesses in the region. Each one is a long-term investment that adds to the local tax base.
We choose each location based on local demand for online services, access to strong network connections, reliable power, and how fast the region is growing.
We plan each site carefully, following local rules and learning what matters most to each community, so our buildings fit the places around them.
Responsible development guides our work. Our approach includes:

RadiusDC develops and operates network connectivity hubs across the United States. These are buildings where internet and network providers connect, helping everyday online services run faster for homes and businesses in the regions they serve. We focus on two types:
No, ours are designed to connect networks and deliver everyday online services, not to train large AI models, which takes far more power than our facilities are built to provide. Like most data centers, they may support AI features built into everyday apps, such as real-time traffic rerouting, fraud alerts from your bank, and live captions on video calls.
We look at local demand for online services, access to strong network connections, reliable power, and how fast the region is growing. Sometimes that means modernizing an existing building, and sometimes building new. We work with local utilities to make sure a site can support a facility before we move forward. Each project follows the local approval process, and we work to understand local requirements and priorities from the start.
We serve a mix of customers, including cloud providers, internet and phone networks, companies that run websites, apps, and streaming services, and other businesses. Like most data center operators, we don’t name customers without their permission.
Yes. Our facilities pay local property taxes that help fund local services, and we don’t ask local governments for tax breaks or special incentives.
Yes. Each project creates work for electricians and other skilled trades during construction, and we aim to hire locally. Once a facility is running, a skilled team handles its day-to-day operations and maintenance. Staffing depends on the facility, since our facilities vary in size.
No. We do not ask local officials to sign nondisclosure agreements, so they’re free to answer residents’ questions about our projects. Like most businesses, we may use confidentiality terms in private agreements, such as with landowners or customers, to protect business details.
Electricity rates are set by each utility and the regulators that oversee it. We pay for the electricity we use and the costs each utility requires to connect our facilities, including any grid upgrades needed to serve them, so those costs don’t fall on other customers.
It depends on the facility, since our sites vary in size and type. The facilities we build from the ground up are air-cooled, with no cooling towers. Their cooling systems are filled once at startup, with the same water circulating in a sealed loop and only occasional top-offs. Day-to-day use is mostly for restrooms and sinks, generally about what a few households use.
We design and operate our facilities to meet local sound standards, including installing sound barriers and equipment enclosures to reduce noise. Backup generators only run during emergencies and for short scheduled tests. We obtain all required air quality permits for our generators.
