In 2022, Kyrgyzstan and South Korea launched a joint project to modernise the country's land data management. The main objective was to lay the digital foundation for e-government and the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The project ran for 3 years.

The central stage was the transition from outdated and fragmented coordinate systems (СК-42, СК-63) to the single global standard WGS 84. The system integrator Green Light acted as the technology partner of the Korean consortium (GEO2, LX, EGIS), supplied all the necessary equipment and prepared it for operation.

Hardware foundation for satellites, drones and 1:25 000 digital maps

The project required a powerful hardware and software complex capable of processing and storing vast volumes of data in real time: satellite imagery, drone data and digital maps of the entire country at a scale of 1:25 000. The Green Light team took on the preparation of the infrastructure:

• Drawing up the specification: selecting servers, storage systems, a tape library and SAN switches.
• Designing the logical network structure, IP addressing and routing rules.
• Preparing the environment for server installation, providing power and laying cable routes.

Within tight deadlines, the integrator's engineers prepared equipment from leading global vendors. At the customer's site, they installed the equipment, carried out patching with optical and copper patch cords and full labelling of the cable routes, and also updated the firmware to current versions and configured the network.

Green Light specialists also brought up the network core, deployed SAN switches to connect the servers to the storage systems, and provided Internet access for the new server equipment, which was critical for the work of the international development team. For backup purposes, they installed, connected and configured a tape library.

As a result, the Green Light team created a reliable hardware foundation, and the engineers assembled the infrastructure into a single network and connected it to the Internet, which allowed the customer's DevOps engineers to gain access to the servers and complete the basic configuration of the operating systems (Linux) and the deployment of the target geographic information systems on time. In addition, Green Light prepared and handed over the full package of as-built documentation: switching diagrams, address tables and configuration specifications.

Kyrgyzstan transitioned to WGS 84

In November 2025, the State Agency for Land Resources, Cadastre, Geodesy and Cartography under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, together with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of the Republic of Korea and the leading Korean companies GEO2, EGIS and LX, with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, announced the successful transition of Kyrgyzstan to the World Geodetic System.

The new technologies will improve the accuracy of spatial data and create a basis for the further development of the national infrastructure of geodetic and cartographic information.
