Pegasus to Develop Worlds Largest Tech Testing Center in New Mexico
Pegasus Global Holdings today announced plans to develop The Center for Innovation, Testing and Evaluation (The Center), a first of its scale and scope fully integrated testing and evaluation facility for new and emerging technologies. Pegasus Global plans to locate the privately owned, commercially operated facility in the State of New Mexico. The Center will resemble a mid-sized American city, including urban canyons, suburban neighborhoods, rural communities and distant localities. It will offer the only of its kind opportunity to replicate the real-world challenges of upgrading existing city infrastructure to that of a 21st Century smart city, operating within a green economy. Pegasus Global intends to privately finance The Center and anticipates 350 direct jobs and 3,500 indirect jobs, to be created in its design, development, construction and ongoing operation. The State of New Mexico is providing non-financial resources and assistance to Pegasus Global in order to facilitate the feasibility study.
The Center will serve as an open operating test, evaluation and commercialization facility for next-generation innovations and technologies. It will provide a proving ground for technologies arising from the federal laboratories, universities, not-for-profit technology centers, federal departments and agencies, and the private sector. The facility will be designed to allow new technologies to integrate into the nation’s urban, suburban and rural “legacy infrastructure,” and provide detailed measurable results on their impact to the economy and its many sectors, e.g., energy, transportation, telecommunications, security, and agriculture. The Center will consist of a fully integrated physical facility modeled on a medium-sized American city, including its urban, suburban, and rural areas, built with standard roads, buildings, power, water, telecommunications and operating systems. Representative of today’s modern cities, The Center will allow clients to test the benefits and costs of their proposed next-generation innovations and technologies, hardware and software.
