Earth Is Getting Its Digital Twin
Summary
A telecom industry trend for 2020, smart cities have implemented the use of digital twins more than ever before. Dr. Michael Grieves coined the term “digital twins” in 2003 to express the idea of digital, virtual representations of physical products. The European Union (EU) has recently started the project of taking the digital twin concept from city-size to a worldwide replicate. The objective of this project “is to develop a very high precision digital model of the Earth to monitor and simulate natural and human activity, and to develop and test scenarios that would enable more sustainable development and support European environmental policies.” Project Destination Earth will assist the EU in the following ways. GeoTel offers telecommunications location-based data which is a digital twin of the telecom infrastructure.
