The US 3D Building Footprints product provides GIS-ready building data to support a host of mapping and spatial analysis functions. Example applications include:

• Broadband mapping: Accurately map and report fixed and mobile broadband coverage with unprecedented granularity.
• Improved geocoding: Go beyond street level or parcel centroid based geocoding solutions to accurate building rooftop based locations.
• Enhanced mobile marketing: Target your customers better based on their proximity to a building geofence.
• Improved insurance underwriting: Use distance to buildings locations to understand and model property risk from floods, landslides, fire, utility lines, trees etc.
• 5G planning: Create accurate models with 3D buildings for RF simulation.
• City planning: Understand urban growth, map heat islands, conduct line of sight analysis, generate 3D building models etc.
• Change analysis: Map buildings across different years to enable detailed insights into residential and commercial construction activity across time.
• Building monitoring: Find and map unapproved structures by comparing building permit data to ground structures.
• Population mapping: Use dasymmetric mapping with building footprints to map and visualize demographic data precisely across regions.
