Data Interoperability
Native support for every major format
From legacy Shapefiles to next-generation cloud-native formats, the platform ingests, transforms, and serves spatial data without conversion overhead. All formats are supported at read and write through unified GDAL and PDAL driver stacks.

Analytical depth at every layer
Built on PostGIS, GDAL, PDAL, and custom spatial ML pipelines, the platform exposes production-grade analytical capabilities through REST APIs and OGC-compliant WPS processes.
Topology Validation
Full PostGIS-backed topology enforcement — gap detection, overlap analysis, and boundary closure validation across multi-million-parcel datasets in seconds.
Coordinate System Transformations
Over 1,000 supported CRS via PROJ 9 and EPSG registry integration, including national grids, geodetic datums, compound CRS, and epoch-based transformations.
Terrain Analysis
Slope, aspect, curvature, viewshed, and line-of-sight analysis over sub-metre DEMs using GDAL pipelines and GPU-accelerated raster algebra.
Network Analysis
pgRouting-powered shortest-path, travel-time isochrone, and turn-restriction routing across national road networks at sub-second response times.
Watershed Delineation
Hydrological catchment modelling from bare-earth DEM: flow direction, flow accumulation, stream extraction, and basin boundary generation at continental scale.
Spatial Machine Learning
Feature extraction from satellite imagery using CNN-based classifiers; land-cover change detection, building footprint segmentation, and road extraction pipelines.

Standards Compliance
Full OGC compliance, no asterisks
Airfree is an active member of the Open Geospatial Consortium and implements all current OGC standards in full conformance. Our implementations are regularly submitted to the OGC CITE testing engine — results are public.
National mapping agencies and cross-border data sharing programmes trust OGC compliance as the foundation for interoperability. We implement every mandatory conformance class, plus applicable extension classes, for each standard below.
