Maxar Precision 3D Telco Suite: Overview and Capabilities

The Maxar Precision3D Telco Suite is a next-generation, cost-effective geodata solution designed specifically for planning, optimizing, and future-proofing modern telecommunications networks-especially as the industry moves toward 5G and beyond. It leverages Maxar’s patented, automated process to create highly detailed 3D and 4D geodata from high-resolution satellite imagery, enabling precise analysis of urban, suburban, and rural areas worldwide236.

Key Features

• High-Resolution, Global 3D Geodata

  • Built from 30–50 cm satellite imagery, delivering 3D surface models at 50 cm resolution6.

  • Enables accurate, consistent, and scalable analysis across regions, countries, or cities.
    

• Automated 3D and 4D Vector Creation

  • 3D vectors for buildings and vegetation, capturing multitiered structures and heights.

  • 4D vectors for bridges, including attributes for height and thickness.

  • Vectors are compatible with major RF planning software (e.g., Forsk Atoll, InfoVista Planet, EDX SignalPro)6.
    

• Comprehensive Data Layers

  • Digital Height Model: Measures obstacle heights (buildings, vegetation).

  • Clutter Classes: Raster data representing vegetation, roads, buildings, and more, all georeferenced.

  • Digital Terrain Model: High-resolution, bare-earth dataset with vegetation and structures removed.

  • True Ortho Geodata: High-resolution orthoimagery without parallax or occlusion, ensuring positional accuracy26.
    

• Scalable and Rapid Delivery

  • Nationwide or regional geodata delivered in months, enabling faster network planning and rollout.

  • Reduces need for extensive on-site surveys and manual modeling, lowering costs and speeding time to market6.
