Mapping your world in 3D
The trusted geodata layer that AI and intelligence platforms run on
LuxCarta produces satellite-derived 3D geodata for organizations that plan networks, train forces and model risk. From headquarters in Sophia Antipolis, France, and production centers on three continents, we deliver digital terrain models, surface models, clutter, 3D buildings, land use and population data for any location on Earth.
The company was founded in 1989 and took its current form in 2018, when ComputaMaps of Cape Town and Geoimage of Toulouse combined to create one of the largest wireless geodata providers in the world. Today our library covers more than 1,000 cities across 57 countries, and our BrightEarth platform produces fresh data on demand for any area of interest.
Focused on Telecom Geodata
At LuxCarta we focus on the development and delivery of geospatial products used in RF planning simulation software such as Forsk’s Atoll, InfoVista’s Planet and Teoco’s Asset.
Global Scale
In addition to three decades of experience serving the needs of users across a broad range of industries, our global operations and sales infrastructure is geared to serve over 500 customers.
Geodata Production Enhanced by AI
Including automated building footprint extraction and other algorithmic approaches to digital map creation. Sizeable R&D investment in computer vision and AI to build toolsets that automate our production pipelines.
We develop geospatial products for the global Telecom, Simulation & Training and other industries.

Wireless Industry
Radio engineers plan 4G, 5G and fixed wireless networks on our geodata every day. Our City, Urban and Region Planner databases are validated for the tools operators already use, including Forsk Atoll, Infovista Planet, TEOCO Asset and iBwave Design. Accurate terrain, clutter and building data is the difference between a coverage prediction you can trust and a site visit you did not need.
Simulation & Training
Defense and security organizations build geospecific synthetic environments on LuxCarta terrain. We deliver correlated elevation, imagery and 3D features ready for the major simulation platforms, so a training scenario looks and behaves like the real place.
Risk Modeling
Insurers and government agencies use our hydro-enforced high-definition terrain models to understand flood exposure building by building. When elevation data is wrong by a meter, risk models are wrong by a neighborhood.
Why teams choose LuxCarta
Three decades of production experience, AI-assisted extraction checked by cartographers, one consistent specification worldwide, and delivery in the formats your software expects. We are a data company, not a software lock-in: you buy the geodata once and use it in the tools you already own.
Explore the knowledge base for plain answers to the questions planners actually ask, from DTM vs DSM vs HDTM to whether open data is good enough for 5G. Or talk to us about your next project.
“We are happy that LuxCarta has created a geodata solution delivering a close proximity to the environment for real wave propagation at 26 GHz which is actually needed for an accurate modeling of 5G networks used by Telefónica Germany for example for Fixed Wireless Access trials.
“5G requires a new way to think about RF planning,” said Daniel Borrás, head of marketing and business strategy at Samsung Networks Europe. “This requires sophisticated 3D maps containing geometrical and morphological information of the surroundings to predict how the signals will behave. LuxCarta is very well positioned to provide this information.”
