Accurate Mapping Data for Precise Analysis
Digital mapping data is the foundation for reliable coverage prediction and interference analysis. Most wave propagation models require at least a topographic map, while more advanced calculations demand additional data types - such as conductivity maps for low frequencies or rain maps for high frequencies.
LS telcom offers expert guidance to help you choose the right mapping package for your use case. Whether you need basic or high-resolution data, we provide cost-effective solutions that improve the accuracy of your results. Below, explore our available packages and see why high-quality digital mapping makes a measurable difference.
Our Mapping Data Packages
Choose the right digital mapping solution for your project and frequency range.
Complementary Data Package
Free entry-level package with 50m resolution, ideal for budget-sensitive projects. Includes DSM, clutter/land use, backdrop, and conductivity maps.
High Quality Package
Premium mapping package tailored to your needs, including high-resolution data such as DTM, DEM, building vectors, satellite images, and additional layers.
Free vs. High-Quality Digital Mapping Data
See how map data quality impacts RF prediction accuracy.
Why pay for mapping data? Because accuracy matters.
This example compares coverage prediction using free open-source data vs. high-quality satellite-based data. The image with the map outlined in red uses OpenStreetMap-based clutter data; the image with the map outlined in blue shows the high-res version based on precise satellite imagery.
A real-world drive test and field strength correlation highlight the difference:
- The high-quality package shows near-perfect alignment between predicted and measured results.
- The free package results deviate significantly, especially in complex terrain.
The test proves that digital mapping quality directly affects propagation results, regardless of the tool used.
