The Right Route.
Global Broadband Solutions Desktop Studies and Marine Route Surveys.
Studies that go deep.
Research, Build with confidence and accuracy.
The GBS Desktop Study and Marine Route Survey approach provides a comprehensive study of well-researched information for marine projects, ocean research, environmental studies, energy infrastructure and Submarine Fiber Optic Cable (SFOC) systems.
Our specialized 4D Modeled Route Simulation technology offers a unique close-up view of your environment- - putting your data into action in a customizable, navigable environment that enables virtual imaging of the subject matter.
