About us
The geospatial engine for choosing where to build. Funds and developers spend months and thousands of euros on paperwork and site visits for land that turns out to be far from the networks or restricted. DataSpace does the first check in seconds.
Distances are not guessed by an artificial intelligence: we calculate them on the geometry of the networks, taken from open public data. Same point, same result, every time.
Who it is for
- EPC and renewable energy developersA first check for ground-mounted solar, agrivoltaics and battery storage (BESS): distance from the high-voltage line and land within 300 metres of a motorway.
- Data centres and hyperscalersLand where high-voltage power, fibre and water for cooling are all close together.
- Infrastructure and real estate fundsRule out land far from the networks in seconds, before spending on site visits and due diligence.
- Landowners and brokersFind out how close a plot is to the networks and offer it to the people who build.
What the map shows
Type an address or the coordinates of a point. Within seconds you see how far it is, as the crow flies, from:
- Energythe nearest high-voltage power line, over 132 kV;
- Fibrethe technology available at the nearest building (FTTH, FTTC, FWA or ADSL) and the estimated speed, from AGCOM data. These are averages, not a test of a single connection;
- Waterthe nearest water pipe and the nearest river, canal or lake, each with its own distance;
- Motorwaysif the site is within 300 metres of a motorway, we flag it: for solar projects it is one of the criteria for suitable areas (Legislative Decree 199/2021).
How to read the colours
- GreenThe network is within the closest threshold: connecting is usually simpler.
- YellowMedium distance: it is worth estimating the cost of bringing the line to the land.
- RedThe network is far away: the cost of connecting may weigh on the investment.
- GreyPublic data is not enough to answer. This needs a technician on site.
For fibre the colour depends on the technology: green for fibre to the building (FTTH) within 300 metres, yellow for FTTC, FWA or fibre further away, red for ADSL only. The colours do not tell you how much capacity the network has, nor whether the land has planning, hydrogeological or landscape constraints: the survey checks those.
The site visit
The map does the first check in seconds. The technician confirms it on the ground.
When public data is not enough, or you need written confirmation, DataSpace puts you in touch with an engineer or surveyor from the province where the land is. They know the municipal rules and the landscape and hydrogeological constraints, they do not charge you for travel and they deliver a signed technical report within 48/72 hours.
