Datel partners with Digital Telecom to bring satellite and digital land management solutions to Africa. The collaboration focuses on three critical areas – modernizing land administration (digital cadastral solutions), detecting illegal constructions and monitoring illegal mining using space technologies. The main mission of the agreement is to equip African authorities with accurate and data-driven insights that can significantly improve governance efficiency and budget effectiveness. We will help solve long-standing problems in asset registration, tax compliance and natural resource management.

At the heart of the collaboration is the implementation of an advanced electronic cadaster system — a centralized, fully digital platform that integrates editable cadastral maps, automated land tax modules, address enforcement capabilities, and connections to secure national data exchange systems.

Datel AS has signed an agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop elevation models based on remote sensing radar data from space. The project aims to create accurate and up-to-date digital surface models that can be utilised in a variety of applications, from environmental monitoring to infrastructure planning. The Estonian University of Life Sciences will partner on the research, conducting drone measurements to validate the models.
