- TransmissionFaster electrical commissioning cycles compress project timelines and accelerate capacity delivery for data center REITs like EQIX.
- SummarySchneider Electric introduced software-defined medium voltage switchgear piloted with Equinix. The hardware-software integration cuts equipment commissioning times by up to half. This addresses power delivery bottlenecks that constrain hyperscale and AI facility buildouts.
