What GEO DATA does

GEO DATA GmbH is a German engineering and consulting firm founded in 1990 in Westhausen, specializing in broadband infrastructure expansion for municipalities, districts, and network operators across the D-A-CH region. The company delivers end-to-end FTTB services spanning master planning, grant/subsidy application preparation, engineering supervision, and construction documentation, and has supported customers in applying for over 1.2 billion EUR in German federal and state broadband subsidies. Its proprietary GEOMAPIX solution enables smartphone-based mobile mapping with GNSS-RTK for centimeter-accurate, GIS-compatible documentation of buried infrastructure, with KI-assisted line-routing and intelligent attribution enriching raw captures with depth, material, and dimension metadata.

In March 2026, GEO DATA and DIMAnet formed GEONIQ GmbH, a joint venture combining GEOMAPIX with DIMAnet's DIMAmap construction-phase process management into a unified platform for end-to-end digital infrastructure projects, with offices in Westhausen and Halle (Saale) and an official market launch at ANGA COM in May 2026. The company also expanded into municipal heat planning via the 2025 Regioheat GmbH joint venture with Max Wild GmbH and E-CON AG. GEO DATA operates within the GEO.DIGITAL corporate group of approximately 260 employees across 8 companies and 7 locations, including wholly-owned subsidiaries ZDE GmbH (digital strategy) and KI-P GmbH (AI/data solutions).

The business model is predominantly professional services — project-based consulting, planning, surveying, and supervision — supplemented by an emerging platform/licensing revenue stream through GEONIQ and direct sales of GEOMAPIX to network operators (e.g., OXG Glasfaser). Customers are primarily German municipalities and public-sector entities, with telecommunications operators (OXG, NetCom BW) as a secondary segment. Pricing is quote-driven and project-dependent, with no publicly disclosed rates.

Core offering

GEO DATA provides end-to-end broadband infrastructure consulting, planning, and project management services for municipalities, districts, and network operators, covering FTTB master planning, grant application preparation, engineering, construction supervision, and home-connection management. The company also delivers digital infrastructure surveying through its proprietary GEOMAPIX mobile mapping solution using GNSS-RTK smartphone technology, and offers municipal heat planning advisory aligned with Germany's 2045 climate neutrality targets.

Product overview

GEO DATA's portfolio consists of consulting and planning services anchored around three core areas (Breitband, Kommunale Wärmeplanung, and Digitale Vermessung/Mobile Mapping) and two technology products: the GEONIQ platform (encompassing the former GEOMAPIX and DIMAmap product lines) and the GEOMAPIX Mobile Mapping sub-brand. GEONIQ serves as the overarching digital platform unifying project management, surveying documentation (GEOMAPIX heritage), and construction-phase process tracking (DIMAmap heritage) across the full infrastructure project lifecycle. GEO DATA also participates in the Regioheat joint venture for municipal heat infrastructure development. The company operates within the GEO.DIGITAL corporate umbrella alongside the ZDE GmbH (digital strategy/smart cities) and KI-P GmbH (AI/data solutions) competency partners.
