The LiDARXCHANGE Consortium is an exclusive network of mapping providers, owners, and operators of multi-million dollar mapping assets who recognize the value in tracking the location and productivity of their sensors, aircraft, and related resources. The web-based XCHANGE has been constructed to bring superior value to firms who purchase capacity and/or projects from the XCHANGE. Each participant enjoys the geographic reach, experience, and expertise of a massive collection of LiDAR capacity; dozens of LiDAR sensors and pre-configured aircraft, and hundreds of operators, data analysts, and project managers, all experienced in LiDAR. LiDARXCHANGE empowers participating LiDAR players to shed their excess capacity whenever and wherever it exists, resulting in increased utilization, revenues, and profits.
