What is xFRA?
The First Distributed Data Center.
No New Grid Required.
SPAN's xFRA is a network of enterprise-grade AI compute nodes — each packing 16 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs — deployed at homes, schools, and small commercial buildings using existing behind-the-meter power capacity. No new grid interconnects. No multi-year construction timelines. No $15M/MW price tag.
The XSOL orchestration layer coordinates thousands of nodes into a coherent cloud that hyperscalers, AI companies, and cloud gaming providers can buy compute from — while the host institution receives discounted electricity, high-speed internet, and revenue from the compute hosted on their property.
SPAN is currently working with residential new construction builders (PulteGroup is the first). The commercial xFRA node — designed for schools, businesses, and office buildings — is planned for early 2027. LegacyGrid is building the Texas institutional pipeline now, so we are first in line.

Why LegacyGrid
SPAN Needs a Texas Deployment Partner.
LegacyGrid Has Everything They Need.
xFRA's commercial expansion requires partners who have institutional access, construction networks, energy infrastructure knowledge, and community trust. That is LegacyGrid's exact profile.
Institutional Access
LegacyGrid has direct relationships with 9 Texas HBCUs and is actively developing K-12 school district partnerships across the state. SPAN needs deployment sites. We have them — and we have the trust to get institutions to say yes.
New Construction Network
LegacyGrid's construction partners are already building in the Texas corridors where xFRA nodes need to go. New construction is SPAN's current deployment channel. We are already in those conversations.
Energy Infrastructure Layer
xFRA nodes require SPAN Panels and battery integration. LegacyGrid's EDC-3 energy resilience layer — Tesla Megapack BESS + solar — is the exact infrastructure that makes institutional xFRA deployments reliable and grid-stable.
No-Cost-to-Institution Model
LegacyGrid's existing model already structures deals with no upfront cost to schools. The xFRA revenue share model maps directly onto how we already structure HBCU partnerships.
Workforce Pipeline
xFRA node installation, maintenance, and monitoring requires trained technicians. LegacyGrid's Workforce Academy is designed to produce exactly this talent pipeline — from the communities where the nodes will be deployed.
Texas Corridor Scale
SPAN's 2027 expansion targets gigawatt scale. Texas has 9 HBCUs, hundreds of K-12 districts, and a booming new construction market. LegacyGrid is the single partner that can aggregate all three deployment channels into one coordinated Texas network.

Deployment Channels
LegacyGrid Brings xFRA to Three Texas Markets SPAN Cannot Reach Alone
Each channel represents a different institutional relationship — and a different path to gigawatt-scale deployment across Texas.
9 Institutions. 1 Network.
- →PVAMU — 1,440 acres, Waller County AI corridor, Phase 1 anchor
- →TSU Houston — 150-acre urban campus, Third Ward workforce hub
- →7 additional Texas HBCUs in the LegacyGrid network
- →EDC-3 energy resilience layer (BESS + solar) ready for xFRA integration
- →No upfront cost to institutions — revenue share from day one
The Dumas ISD Model, Scaled Across Texas.
- →Duos Edge AI proved the school district edge data center model at Dumas ISD
- →LegacyGrid brings xFRA's NVIDIA-grade compute to Texas K-12 districts
- →On-campus nodes provide students with direct access to AI compute
- →Districts receive discounted electricity and internet
- →Workforce training pipeline: students learn to operate the infrastructure they host
Built-In From the Foundation.
- →LegacyGrid's construction partners are already building in Texas HBCU corridors
- →xFRA nodes designed for new construction installation (like SPAN's PulteGroup model)
- →SPAN Panel + xFRA Node + BESS integrated into the building spec from day one
- →Developers receive a premium infrastructure story for marketing and leasing
- →Residents and tenants receive discounted electricity and internet from day one

The Economics
Why This Makes Financial Sense for Every Party
SPAN CEO Arch Rao confirmed: 3–5 years and $15M/MW for a traditional data center. xFRA delivers the same compute at 8,000 sites in 6 months at $3M/MW — a 5× cost reduction and 6–10× faster deployment.
For Texas institutions, the model is even more compelling. The school hosts the node at no upfront cost. SPAN owns the compute hardware. The institution receives a fixed monthly benefit package. LegacyGrid structures the deal and ensures community benefit terms are enforceable.
05
Phase 1 Anchor
PVAMU: Where the Texas xFRA Network Starts
Prairie View A&M University sits at the center of the Waller County AI infrastructure corridor — 12 miles from Serverfarm's Hockley activity, inside a county with available land, utility capacity, and a university with 1,440 acres and an active AI initiative (PantherXAI).
The PVAMU xFRA deployment would be the first institutional distributed AI compute deployment in Texas — and the proof of concept that unlocks every subsequent HBCU, K-12, and new construction deployment in the state.

How to Partner
Four Ways to Work With LegacyGrid on xFRA
Whether you are a school, a district, a developer, or SPAN itself — there is a path to work with LegacyGrid on the Texas xFRA network.
Host an xFRA Node Cluster
Your campus hosts xFRA nodes on existing land or buildings. No upfront cost. You receive discounted electricity, high-speed internet, and a revenue share from the compute hosted on your property. LegacyGrid structures and manages the deal.
Schedule a Feasibility Call →Bring AI Compute to Your Campus
Your district hosts xFRA nodes and gains on-campus access to NVIDIA-grade AI compute for student education programs. LegacyGrid handles the partnership structure, installation coordination, and workforce training pipeline.
Contact LegacyGrid →Build xFRA Into Your Developments
Integrate SPAN Panels and xFRA nodes into your new construction specs from the foundation. Your buyers and tenants receive discounted electricity and internet. Your development gets a premium infrastructure story.
Talk to Our Team →Texas Deployment Partnership
LegacyGrid is actively seeking a formal deployment partnership with SPAN to serve as the Texas institutional channel for xFRA commercial expansion. We have the sites, the relationships, and the infrastructure layer. Let's talk.
