What are the advantages of using LiDAR?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) provides highly accurate 3D mapping that works in any lighting conditions and can penetrate vegetation to reveal underlying terrain. It rapidly collects millions of data points per second, making it essential for autonomous vehicles, surveying, construction, and environmental monitoring.

LiDAR is generally cost-effective because it dramatically reduces survey time and labor costs compared to traditional ground-based methods.
Mobile mapping is the process of collecting geospatial data using vehicle-mounted sensors as they travel along roads and corridors. Our systems combine LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology with high-resolution 360° cameras to capture detailed 3D information about infrastructure and the built environment. This allows you to remotely assess assets, measure conditions, and plan projects without extensive field visits.
We primarily serve three key sectors: telecommunications companies who need to inventory poles and assess attachment capacity, state/city departments of transportation who conduct corridor assessments and sign inventories, and utility companies who map distribution networks and monitor vegetation encroachment. Our services are designed for any organization that manages physical infrastructure across large geographic areas.
Our expert extraction team delivers up to 97% accuracy with 95% confidence across all asset types. We achieve this through a combination of advanced sensor technology, proprietary workflows, and rigorous quality assurance processes. Every project undergoes systematic validation to ensure the data meets our accuracy standards before delivery.
We use state-of-the-art RIEGL LiDAR systems, which are industry-leading sensors known for their precision and point cloud density. These are paired with high-resolution Ladybug 6 360° imagery systems that capture panoramic photographs synchronized with the LiDAR data, providing both geometric accuracy and visual context for every location.
Teleqo Tech provides mobile mapping services throughout North, Central, and South America. Since 2020, we’ve completed projects across multiple states and regions, working with state DOTs, regional telecom providers, and utility companies from coast to coast. We’ve also completed a full collection of all roadways of 6 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
We deliver data through intuitive cloud-based visualization platforms that make complex 3D geospatial information accessible to your entire team. You don’t need specialized GIS expertise to navigate our platforms—they’re designed for professionals across your organization to remotely review assets, take measurements, and store notes.
While traditional photography captures visual appearance, LiDAR creates precise 3D point clouds by measuring distances with laser pulses. This provides accurate geometric information—heights, distances, volumes, and spatial relationships—that photographs alone cannot deliver. We combine both technologies so you get visual context along with measurable 3D data.
Project timelines vary based on the scope of data collection and the complexity of extraction requirements. Data collection itself moves at highway speeds, allowing us to efficiently capture hundreds of miles a week. Processing and extraction timelines depend on your specific deliverable requirements, which we’ll outline clearly in your project proposal.
Mobile mapping significantly reduces the need for field visits by enabling remote assessment of most infrastructure assets. However, it complements rather than completely replaces traditional surveying. Some applications still require ground-truth verification or access to locations not visible from the roadway. We’ll help you determine the optimal approach for your specific needs.
The best way to start is by requesting a quote through our website or contacting our team directly. We’ll discuss your project requirements, geographic area of interest, and specific deliverables you need. From there, we’ll provide a detailed proposal outlining timeline, methodology, and pricing for your mobile mapping project.
