Does your current geodata give you a reliable understanding of your urban, suburban and rural environments?

If not, DigitalGlobe can help.

CONNECTIVITYIS NOT OPTIONALBy 2020, there will be more than 24 billion connected devices in the world—from mobile phones and tablets to self-driving cars and programmable dog collars.

That’s a lot of devices and a lot of data—all depending on networks built a decadeago to handle voice traffic.

Planning the wireless networksof the future

TODAY Today's wireless networks are intentionallyover-engineered to meet uptime and reliability requirements. That’s still a lot cheaper than buying wide-area geodata or paying for extensive in-person validation.

YESTERDAYGSM mobile networks rely on low-frequency spectrum waves that act like a bullhorn—the signal just goes around any obstructions.So even if there are some trees or buildings between the tower and device, you get pretty good coverage.

Data needs: moderate Using rudimentary 3D geodata for only dense urban areas does the job.

TOMORROW All those newly connected devices will require high-frequency spectrum to get signals quickly back to the core network.But these waves are more easilyobstructed—a small obstruction couldpotentially cripple your network design and create disruptions.
