DigitalGlobe recently announced that its Brazil-based partner INTERSAT, a division of IMAGEM, has provided DigitalGlobe’s high-resolution QuickBird imagery to its telecommunications client TELEMAR. TELEMAR has a license to use approximately 10,000 square kilometers of 60-centimeter resolution QuickBird imagery from INTERSAT. The Brazilian telecommunications firm will use the imagery in conjunction with Basic Urban Map (MUB), INTERSAT’s GIS feature, to analyze telecommunications solutions. The combination of highly detailed satellite imagery and GIS technology
enables telecommunication professionals to integrate location-based data into
analysis and management processes for network planning and operations,
marketing and sales, customer care, data management, and many other planning
and problem-solving tasks. INTERSAT’s MUB is an urban map created upon high-resolution satellite images. It provides sets of geographic information such as city boundaries, roads, urban streets, population and other attributes that can help urban planners achieve their mapping and planning goals.
