Venue infrastructure is already sized for peak. Most of the year, it is idle.
Stadiums and large venues are built around a handful of high-demand days. The electrical service, the structural area and the fiber are provisioned for those peaks and underused between them — which is precisely the profile the High Tier node is specified for.
The largest footprint, on sites that can physically carry it
Stadiums, factories, ports and logistics hubs are the named High Tier deployment sites. These are the environments where cabinet count is limited by commercial appetite rather than by available space or service capacity.
Service provisioned for event peaks
Venue electrical infrastructure is sized for full-occupancy event conditions. Outside those windows there is substantial spare capacity behind the existing service for a node to draw on.
Peak shaving against event-day spikes
Commercial electricity billing is dominated by peak demand. On-site storage is intended to absorb those spikes, with a targeted 20–30% reduction in the host’s power costs.
Built for high-capacity clusters
The High Tier configuration groups three base arrays with multi-gigabit fiber, micro-grid redundancy, multi-point security and live telemetry.
Roof, pad and perimeter area
Concourse roofs, service yards, plant decks and perimeter ground offer placement options well away from public circulation, using the same sealed IP65 enclosure.
What governs feasibility on this site type
Venue assessments are shaped by the event calendar. Installation, servicing and load coordination all have to work around fixtures rather than against them.
| Consideration | What is assessed |
|---|---|
| Event load profile | How node draw is coordinated with event-day demand, broadcast and production power, and any existing load-management scheme. |
| Structural and siting | Roof, plant deck or ground pad capacity, and placement outside public circulation and egress routes. |
| Physical security | Integration with existing venue security zoning, access control and perimeter arrangements for a permanently sited asset. |
| Connectivity | Multi-gigabit fiber path and backhaul, provisioned separately from venue operations and broadcast networks. |
| Access windows | Crane and vehicle access constrained by the fixture calendar, for both initial placement and scheduled maintenance. |
| Licensing | Multi-year rights, which at venues frequently involve the operator, the freeholder and the local authority together. |
What the site receives
DAIT carries all capital expenditure, installation, maintenance and insurance. The host contributes space and access to existing service.
- Zero capital outlayDAIT carries all capital expenditure, installation, insurance and maintenance.
- Peak demand reductionStorage is intended to shave event-day peaks, targeting a 20–30% reduction in power costs.
- Micro-grid backupOn-site storage and micro-grid redundancy included in the High Tier configuration.
- Recurring incomeA fixed license fee or compute revenue share on space that is otherwise dormant between events.
DAIT is at pre-pilot stage — no node has yet been deployed in the field. Capacity, cost and resilience figures are engineering estimates and design targets, not measured operating results. Venue deployments would additionally be subject to the operator’s safety case, licensing conditions and any sponsorship or commercial constraints attaching to the site.
