Location data platform Mapbox is partnering with data cloud company Snowflake and Maxar Intelligence to deliver a digital twin solution for mobile network operators, SmartCitiesWorld reported. The collaboration uses Snowflake’s geospatial capabilities and Maxar’s high-resolution 3D terrain and satellite imagery, combined with Mapbox’s rendering capabilities to provide MNOs with a visual representation of their cellular coverage at what the parties claim to be an unprecedented level of precision.
With the integrated offering, MNOs can obtain hyper-precise insights into cellular coverage, enabling them to make informed decisions related to coverage, outages, maintenance, and new infrastructure, according to the companies.
“Collaborating with Snowflake and Maxar to introduce a digital twin solution provides an opportunity for leaders in business, geospatial, and location intelligence to redefine how telecom organizations visualize and analyze their networks,” explains Garrett Miller, global vice president of customer engagement at Mapbox.
The digital twin solution consists of a base layer of ultra-high precision coverage raster datasets used for downstream business intelligence visualization and analysis. Mapbox reports it is positioned to deliver this capability with its raster data pipeline capabilities and rendering engine that can handle enormous datasets at scale, in an effective and efficient manner.
“The AI-enhanced digital twin is aimed at aiding various telecom use cases such as network planning, outage mapping, and optimizing network operations,” says Fawad Qureshi, Snowflake industry field CTO. “Mapbox is a key partner within the Snowflake Telecom Data Cloud, and together, we are empowering telecom organizations with a robust toolset, to improve processes and foster innovation through data-driven decision-making.”
