GeoData for Wireless Communications

 

LAND INFO specializes in providing digital geo-data, on a worldwide basis, to the wireless telecommunications industry. Data solutions are available for: • Bid preparation • Wireless design and modeling • Site acquisition • Network operations • Optimization

Available products include:

• DEMs (Digital Elevation Models, also know as 3d Terrain)
• Land Use / Land Cover Classifications (clutter)
• Transportation (Road) Vectors
• DRGs (Digital Raster Graphics)
• Aerial Photography and Satellite Imagery

All products are geo-referenced, and our integrated layers allow you to focus on analysis instead of time-consuming data manipulation.

Regional (smaller scale) and City (larger scale) data bundles are available to support PCS (Personal Communications Services), including GSM, TDMA, CDMA, WLL, 3G and other lower-frequency networks.

Smaller-scale regional data is ideal for large area planning, rural planning and cost-sensitive bid work. These data sets are generally derived from 1:100,000 – 1:250,000 scale topographic maps, and typically include 90-meter (3 arc second) resolution DEMs (Digital Elevation Models), land use clutter, transportation vectors and optionally DRGs (Digital Raster Graphics).

Larger-scale city data is specifically designed to meet the detailed design requirements of wireless networks in major metropolitan areas and transportation corridors. Generally created from 1:10,000 – 1:50,000 source topographic materials and multi-spectral satellite imagery (Landsat or Spot), these data bundles include 30-meter (1 arc second) or higher-resolution DEMs, land-use clutter, transportation vectors and optionally DRGs.

Off-the-shelf digital data availability includes 152 countries, with turn-key wireless data sets (30m DEMs, clutter and road vectors) for 575+ cities worldwide, complete DRG coverage of 36 countries, complete DEM coverage of 10 countries and archived mid to high-resolution data sets for numerous additional areas. USA off-the-shelf data availability includes nation-wide coverage of several products such as a seamed and edge-matched 30m (1 arc second) DEM, ortho-rectified Landsat 7 satellite imagery and raster topographic maps (DRGs, all scales), as well as higher-resolution data (DEMs, clutter, aerial photography) of select areas.

As a growing number of Telco professionals worldwide select us as their data partner, our ability to offer off-the-shelf geo-data continues to expand. We pride ourselves on high-quality, accurate and precise work; reliable turn-around times; competitive pricing and significant repeat business. By employing industry-leading geo-data solutions, our users enjoy significant competitive advantages in the wireless market-place:

• Save millions of dollars in site-acquisition, infrastructure, construction, drive-testing and administrative costs.
• Lower churn and attract new customers due to superior network performance and greater customer satisfaction.
• Optimize existing networks and quickly build into new areas.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us to request additional information on our geo-data products and how they can help you bid, plan, design, model and optimize your wireless networks; or to inquire about a specific area of interest.
