SOLUTIONS
41.9% Less Infrastructure Cost. Zero IDF Closets.
Parking structures are brutal on traditional electrical and data infrastructure. AGILE-CORE® replaces high-voltage panels, rigid conduit, and multiple IT rooms with a single intelligent DC backbone — saving $50,000–$100,000 per deployment before the first car parks.
Transform Your Parking Structure
Built for parking structure developers, GCs, and MEP engineers ready to eliminate conduit, closets, and complexity.
Updating technology in a poured-concrete parking garage is typically an engineering and budgetary nightmare. Legacy 120/277V AC frameworks demand heavy metal conduit and expensive, weather-proofed enclosures that remain highly vulnerable to environmental wear.
AGILE-CORE® future-proofs your facility by replacing rigid high-voltage systems with advanced Class 4 Fault-Managed Power (FMP) and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)—delivering a resilient, intelligent infrastructure that drastically reduces your technological footprint.
Case Study: 5-Story Parking Structure
By eliminating the rigid constraints of traditional IT architecture, AGILE-CORE® radically simplifies how power and data are deployed to the edge. The entire financial and physical footprint of a facility shifts when you install a unified digital backbone designed to slash construction costs, reclaim valuable square footage for revenue-generating parking spots, consolidate backup power hardware, and leverage optimized labor structures. The results are staggering—yielding a 41.9% reduction in upfront capital expenses.
The breakdown below illustrates exactly how these compounding mechanical, electrical, and structural savings add up in a real-world, 5-story parking garage deployment.

The AGILE-CORE® Architecture
Traditional parking structures rely on localized high-voltage panels, extensive rigid conduit, and distributed IT closets exposed to harsh environmental factors. AGILE-CORE® re-engineers this framework by consolidating infrastructure into a safe, centralized, intelligent DC power and data backbone.
Centralized HEADEND
All system power and data originate in a single, secure Level 1 MDF room. Here, Class 4 Fault-Managed Power (FMP) transmitters packetize electricity into safe, low-current DC pulses. This allows bulk infrastructure power to travel long vertical and horizontal distances over lightweight, StrandWise™ hybrid cable—completely eliminating the need for rigid metal conduit and localized conditioned IDF rooms.
BITS™ Edge IDF Enclosures
Instead of sacrificing valuable parking deck real estate to build distributed, conditioned IT closets, AGILE-CORE® routes hybrid cables straight to ultra-compact, ceiling-mounted Edge IDFs, which safely decode the FMP backbone, transitioning the power and data to localized Class 2 PoE. These industrial outdoor-rated enclosures are built to withstand extreme conditions such as heat, cold, humidity, coastal climates, and more.
Remote Edge Deployments
From the local Edge IDF hub, a single standard low-voltage cable structure handles both terminal power and high-speed network connectivity directly to facility assets. Hardware like IP surveillance cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and smart facility endpoints connect directly into the AGILE-CORE® backbone— reducing costly installation and streamlining future equipment upgrades.
