Infrastructure
There is currently one electrical substation that is proximate
to PBC and handles its electrical needs. Plans are in place
to build another Arizona Public Service substation adjacent
to the PBC for additional biomedical users in the area. These
two substations will ensure that there will be enough power
and redundancy for firms that locate in this area.
In addition, there is access to a cooling system—Northwind Phoenix,
that utilizes thermal (ice) storage. Your firm purchases the
cooling, not the equipment that produces it. This elimination
of cooling equipment will save your company money and other
costs incurred with maintaining and operating this equipment.
There are also multiple lines of fiber adjacent to the PBC
and throughout the downtown area. This adjacency will provide
companies with the most advanced and redundant telecommunications
in Phoenix. In addition, a few blocks away from the PBC is
a fiber crossroad facility that contains almost every national
network backbone with multiple fiber entrances and vaults.
