Why the Equator Site Builder is Made for You
Equator’s mission is to elevate the work of design teams by providing unprecedented access to the world’s data.
Public organizations around the world are investing billions in digital elevation infrastructure to support everything from precision agriculture, to flood management, and land development. But the problem is, many professionals who could benefit from this information cannot directly access it.
We believe that everyone who relies on spatial data deserves simple and direct access to this information. We built the Equator Site builder to democratize access to mission-critical spatial insights and design tools. Our goal is to help all professionals independently access the information they need to increase confidence and quality of work.
