About Cyclomedia

Cyclomedia is a global leader in geospatial data and intelligence

Cyclomedia digitises the outside world at scale. Using highly accurate street‑level imagery, LiDAR data and AI-powered analytics, we create reliable digital representations of cities and infrastructure that support planning, maintenance, and public safety. We empower governments and businesses to make smarter, data-driven decisions.

Our data helps professionals assess assets remotely, reduce field visits, and make decisions based on consistent, measurable information rather than fragmented local surveys or outdated records.

History

Founded in 1981, Cyclomedia has established itself as a global leader in geospatial data capture and visualization technology.

Since its founding over four decades ago, Cyclomedia has focused on one goal: creating accurate, large‑scale digital representations of the physical world. Continuous innovation in camera systems, positioning technology, and data processing keeps us at the forefront of street‑level data capture.

Supporting safer and more accessible cities

Cities use Cyclomedia’s data to inspect streets, pavements, and public spaces remotely, helping improve safety, accessibility, and maintenance planning without unnecessary site visits.

Smarter infrastructure and asset management

Infrastructure owners rely on accurate street‑level data to assess asset condition, prioritise maintenance, and plan investments using consistent, defensible information.

Reliable data for utilities and networks

Utilities use Cyclomedia’s imagery and LiDAR data to understand networks, reduce fieldwork, and coordinate teams around a shared, up‑to‑date view of the environment.

Trusted insight for long‑term decision‑making

From planning to operations, Cyclomedia helps organisations move from reactive fixes to proactive management using accurate digital representations of reality.
