Data Center Fiber in State R/W
I work with a transportation agency and I’m trying to get a sense of the time and cost it would take to relocate BFOC for data centers. My state doesn’t have any hyper scale data centers yet, but they’re coming. Because the permits in state right of way are free, I’m predicting that some fiber infrastructure will be constructed that will eventually need to be relocated for road widening, signals, etc.
I know scheduling and splicing can take months for telecoms, and I imagine it would be similar or longer for data centers. If anyone has any insight on downtime restrictions, cost, or time for data center fiber relocation, it would be much appreciated!
