“We used to rely on lower quality clutter height data in the New York area. With this data, 60% of all our planned links failed when they were checked by our surveyors. Now, thanks to the accurate and complete representation of building and foliage in the data, we are able to confidently reject blocked links and pick the clear links, all within our virtual desk plan. Thanks to this high-quality clutter height data, we have seen a 98% decrease in false positives.”
