Benefits of Implementing Satellite GIS

Satellites GIS brings people from disparate groups and different disciplines together and helps them understand problems through a common, visual language. Satellite GIS has demonstrated real business value, and numerous companies, agencies, and government organizations have established these programs.

Why Satellite GIS

Initially, some departments saw satellite information and GIS as indispensable tools for their discipline, while others implemented GIS to achieve the goals of a specific project. Throughout the development of the technology, organizations have tested the power of GIS to enable them to keep pace with current customer expectations. Increasingly, organizations are realizing that GIS is a valuable tool to help them move forward efficiently while responding to issues of accountability and performance measurement.

The benefits realized from implementing Satellite GIS such as

• Saving money and time
• Increasing efficiency, accuracy, productivity
• Improving communication and collaboration
• Generating revenue
• Supporting decision making
• Aiding budget development
• Building information bases
• Managing resources

E-Government

E-government is using the Satellite GIS to create more effective government. The combination of available Internet access and maps lets governments provide a new level of service to both businesses and the public.
Satellite GIS enabled web sites can provide services for the following.

• Government-to-people applications provide information on government services and streamline the interaction of people and their feedback.
• Government-to-business applications for economic development, development of land use, licensing, or permitting.
• Government-to-government applications improve the amount, quality, and ways of information exchange within and among various levels of government.

In addition, it allows agencies to collaborate on large-scale planning problems and respond to emergencies or crisis management. Better communication helps governments and citizens use resources more wisely.

Satellite Solutions for the Public Sector

Satellite Solution Connects our World

The relationship between government and geography is so strong that much business of government is often described as geopolitical.

GEOSAT satellite solutions are based on commitment to empower the exchange of information. GIS has expanded from a niche technology used by specialists to an integrated information technology used within and between organizations, agencies, and departments.

Homeland Security

Satellite informatics and technology is critical in supporting our nation's homeland security to protect life, property, and infrastructure.

Satellite information and GIS databases have been used for decades to help institutions and businesses at the local, county, and federal levels collect and analyze information to make better decisions.

As GIS professionals, our call to action is to provide a national knowledge base that will enable organizations to create, publish, and access geographic and associated data sets for strategic planning or tactical operations.

GIS Is the Tool for Cadastral Mapping

Accurate, cadastral maps define legal repositories of land ownership, value, and location, allowing individuals and businesses to raise capital based on property values. In turn, the capital can be used to purchase other property, start businesses among other activities.


• Law Enforcement


Satellite GIS applications use geography and computer-generated maps as an interface for integrating and accessing massive amounts of location-based information. Satellite information allows law enforcement and criminal justice personnel to effectively plan for emergency response, determine priorities, analyze historical events, and predict future events. The applications can also be used to get critical information to emergency responders upon dispatch or to assist in tactical planning and response.

Law enforcement agencies face tasks and challenges in their daily responsibility of protecting life and property while keeping the peace in their communities.

These tasks require both strategic and tactical planning in rapidly changing social, economic, and political environments. Virtually every task and challenge has a geographic component. While law enforcement agencies collect vast amounts of data, only a very small part of this information can be absorbed from spreadsheets and database files. Satellite GIS provides a visual, spatial means of displaying data, allowing law enforcement agencies to integrate and leverage their data for more informed decision making.


• Public Safety


Satellite GIS technology gives public safety personnel the ability to manage and analyze large amounts of location-based information. Data or files can be stored in a geo-database and used to visualize spatial relationships and reveal trends critical to public safety response and planning. Computer-generated maps can be shared across a network or the Internet with multiple agencies to coordinate efforts and maximize resources.

GEOSAT also works with a strong group of business partners that specialize in developing GIS-based solutions for the public safety industry.


• Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)


Transportation professionals have discovered and embraced satellite GIS as an important tool in managing, planning, evaluating, and maintaining transportation systems.

Satellite GIS for transportation has been used for diverse purposes


From modeling travel demand in the future to tracking bus routes.
• From analyzing the annual capital improvement plans to identifying noise regulation violations around airports.
• From improving transit service throughout rejuvenated urban centers to planning scenic byways in recreational areas.
• Urban and Regional Planning


No matter how large or small your community, planners must deal with spatial information: parcel, zoning and land use data, addresses, transportation networks, and housing stock. As a planner, you also study and keep track of multiple urban and regional indicators, forecast future community needs, and plan accordingly to guarantee the quality of life for everyone in livable communities.

Regional, county, and local planning agencies have realized the power of GIS to identify problems, respond to them efficiently, and share the results with the public. Satellite GIS solutions provide tools to help you reach your agency mission while doing more and spending less.
