Case Study: a telecommunication software provider builds LiDAR-based 3D terrain mapping app with Empeek

Telecommunication Software Provider cuts LiDAR file size to 600-700 MB with Empeek

A telecommunication software provider sought to develop a mobile application to map underground cables by creating real-time 3D models of terrain, a process traditionally reliant on complex and costly equipment. They hired Empeek to build a minimum viable product (MVP) using LiDAR technology to understand its potential benefits for their business.

Empeek developed a React Native and Swift app that utilizes the iPad Pro's LiDAR scanner and point cloud technology to collect and process spatial data. The solution automated the data collection flow, allowing employees to scan terrain, take unlimited photos, and send all information to a server with one click. This eliminated the need for specialized devices, saving costs and simplifying adoption. Empeek's app also optimized data capture, handling 50 million dots with file sizes of 600-700 MB, a significant improvement over existing market capabilities.
