Navigating change: Migrating to a modern GIS solution - Part 1

In today's rapidly changing technological landscape, telcos are continuously seeking ways to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and harness the power of data to make more informed decisions. As network hardware evolves, so too do the systems required to manage the network. Amongst these systems is GIS, or Geographical Information Systems, which plays a pivotal role in this quest by providing data intelligence that can drive smarter choices.

Leveraging GIS for environmental sustainability: Reducing impacts and costs

Businesses globally are striving to reduce their ecological footprint and optimize resources, and telecom network operators are no exception.1 However, in today’s rapidly changing landscape, it can be especially difficult to deploy optimal networks in a timely manner that also account for varying environmental factors including avoiding hazards, protecting biodiversity, and minimizing impact. By integrating geographic information systems (GIS) into their processes, telcos can make more informed decisions by synthesizing and visualizing complex data in a spatial context.
