The team’s suite of location services enables Verizon and enterprise customers to enhance their businesses with the power of location via customizable geospatial software solutions.

Additionally, they are developing the next evolution in mapping technology with Digital Space Management (DSM). DSM elevates maps from a static representation of any space — indoor and outdoor — to a 3D digital twin. DSM provides a centralized hub of spatial data, helping to map, track and manage all objects and assets within a physical space in near-real-time.
