According to EchoStar Broadcasting, a subsidiary of EcoStar, the new data center will be located next to its existing satellite uplink and broadcast facility in Cheyenne Business Park. EchoStar said it evaluated more than 50 sites around the country for the new facility, but ultimately selected the Cheyenne location because of strong ties to the community, a business friendly tax environment, reasonably priced power, and the availability of a professional work force.
