What Is Geology IQ™?
Geology IQ™ is a cloud-based SaaS module that delivers real-time underground intelligence. Using advanced mapping technologies, it analyzes soil types and rock hardness up to six feet deep, delivering 20–30% more accurate cost-to-build estimates than traditional methods.
By eliminating the need for manual site surveys and initial field assessments, Geology IQ accelerates time-to-market and dramatically reduces the risk of budget overruns due to unforeseen underground conditions.
Why Geology IQ™ Is a Game-Changer for Broadband Providers
For broadband service providers and construction teams, every decision around network buildout and fiber deployment comes with risks tied to unknown underground conditions. With Geology IQ™, teams gain access to accurate geological insights from their desktops — no field crews needed.
Key benefits include:
-
Faster broadband deployment through reduced planning time
-
More accurate construction budgets with up to 30% improvement in cost estimates
-
Elimination of costly surprises caused by underground variability
-
Better capital allocation and more confident decision-making
