Intermap partners with Zipline to deliver Elevation-as-a-Service

Intermap has announced its new partnership with Zipline to deliver crucial geospatial Elevation-as-a-Service in support of expanding its operations in Africa. The partnership will allow for more on-demand COVID-19 medical deliveries.

The partnership with Zipline marks Intermap’s re-entry into the African market and its continuous expansion around the world. The deal illustrates the increasing value of on-demand, real-time geospatial elevation data and analytics, delivered as a service. Because this data improves the safety and efficiency of drone flights, it’s now considered mission-critical.

Patrick A. Blott, Intermap’s Chairman and CEO had the following statement on the Zipline partnership:

Intermap is an established world leader in all-source elevation data and analytics, including its collection, processing, exploitation, and delivery. Our relationship with Zipline provides an excellent example of how Intermap’s patented, on-demand, and near real-time processing, when combined with our cloud-based provisioning and customizable analytics, Elevation-as-a-Service, can support rapid operational expansion (strategic and tactical) for growing UAV companies — and it’s all immediately available on a global scale.

Along with the partnership, Intermap also announced that Carolyn Johnston, PhD, a statistician and mathematician specializing in geospatial technologies and remote sensing, will take on the role of chief scientist, in Denver.

Intermap has also announced a deal with Geo Oil Energy SAS in Colombia, which will market Intermap’s NEXTMap products to companies in the energy, engineering, and government markets in Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru.
