Published on: 1st Jan 1970: 1:33am

­Digital mapping and navigation provider, Navteq has signed a three year agreement to supply worldwide map data to global geodata provider ComputaMaps for integration into its wireless planning product portfolio.

ComputaMaps multi-layered Region Planner, Urban Planner and City Planner spatial databases combine terrain, land-use classification (morphology) and satellite imagery into the single, realistic digital earth model essential for accurate wireless network design. The integration of Navteq map data will add structural and contextual depth to the product line.

"Our focus at ComputaMaps has always been on developing the most accurate terrain, clutter and 3D building data for use when creating wireless networks," commented Albéric Maumy, managing director, ComputaMaps Europe. "Through Navteq, we can now provide extremely powerful data which will help engineers work more efficiently at each stage of the design and operation of their LTE networks."

Customers who already have the Region Planner, Urban Planner and 3D City Planner data sets can add the Navteq data layers to their existing products seamlessly by leveraging the built-in GIS functionality found in most RF planning tools.

Navteq is a subsidiary of Nokia.
