OS and Project Gigabit chart route for success

Ordnance Survey has been working with BDUK to boost connectivity in rural areas by providing a clear view of Project Gigabit build sites.

Its GIS team was brought in for six months and provided path and network data alongside Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping techniques.

OS is following up this support through its National Geographic Database which unites data sources into a single store of all of its data for GB and is updated daily.

An OS representative said: OS has been constructing ways to utilise and access location data so we can get to a gigabit connected Britain promptly, and in a sustainable way.

“Whether it’s asset management, accurately understanding property classifications such as multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and complex sites or monetising a service providers own data, OS geospatial data solutions will provide continuous support in our rapidly evolving digital world.”
