Key features include:

5m digital terrain model

 Our DTMs are produced from refined SRTM V3+ elevation data and carefully processed to ensure accuracy. The data undergoes interpolation, void filling, and anomaly correction, with coastline and water body adjustments for precise elevation representation.

LandUse 18 classes

An 18-class menu at 5-meter resolution, categorizing land into urban, agricultural, forested, and water areas. This layer is essential for telecommunications, facilitating site selection for tower placement and signal assessment. Customizable to meet specific regional and technical needs, it supports optimal network planning and deployment.

Linear vectors 

 
Derived from satellite imagery, capturing a wide array of linear features such as water bodies, road networks, and runways. This includes everything from expansive highways to intricate railway lines.  Essential for telecom planning, these vector layers facilitate precise network infrastructure deployment and maintenance across diverse geographic regions.

Orthoimage

LuxCarta's Urban Planner employs high-resolution orthoimagery, optimized by selecting scenes based on optimal seasonal visibility and minimal cloud interference. Images are geo-rectified and mosaicked to ensure precise alignment and terrain accuracy, enabling detailed urban mapping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sentinel-2?

Sentinel-2 is an earth polar-orbiting satellite constellation (Sentinel-2A and 2B) designed to feed the GMES system with continuous and operational high-resolution imagery for the global and sustained monitoring of Earth’s land and coastal areas. The Sentinel-2 system is based on the concurrent operations of two identical satellites flying on a single orbit plane but phased at 180º, each hosting a Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) covering from the visible to the shortwave infrared spectral range and delivering high spatial resolution imagery at global scale and with a high revisit frequency.

How are land cover clutter layers generated?

Our method for creating clutter is composed of four steps and applies different strategies. The image is segmented, globally assigning image pixels into groups of like values or clusters. Then we create a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to separate the areas with vegetation cover from those without vegetation cover. Urbanized areas and impervious surfaces are detected by manual photo interpretation. Finally, a vector mask is applied to isolate water, coastlines, road and other linear features within the area of interest. The resulting classified image is then mapped to a standard land use, land cover (LULC) menu.

What are your sources for digital terrain models (DTM)?

The primary sources for our RF planning maps are SRTM (NASA), ALOS (ESA) or LiDAR.
