Building information - a crucial piece of the puzzle in the rollout of future energy and communication networks

The expansion of electricity networks, fiber and mobile communications places high demands on planning and precision. For the energy and telecom industry, access to accurate property information is a prerequisite for building robust and cost-effective networks.

Energy and telecom companies today work with complex network structures in rapidly changing environments. Making the right decisions requires detailed knowledge of properties, businesses, land use and ownership - often combined with geographical analysis.

When real estate information is not of sufficient quality, projects risk suffering from

    • incorrect location of networks
    • unnecessary diversions and delays
    • increased costs in both deployment and operation

- In our assignments, we clearly see how crucial accurate real estate information is to avoid wrong decisions early in the process. The better the basis, the more efficient and sustainable the network expansion will be," says Lena Lüning, Product Manager Geographic Information, Metria.

By using refined property data in combination with geodata analysis and map-based decision support, energy and telecom companies get a better overview, can prioritize the right areas and create more robust infrastructure.

Looking ahead
As demands for security of supply, climate adaptation and rapid expansion increase, real estate information will play an increasingly strategic role. For the industry, it's no longer just about having access to data - it's about using the right data in the right way, at the right time.
