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

A key milestone was the transition from outdated and disparate coordinate systems (SK-42, SK-63) to the unified global standard WGS 84. The systems integrator Green Light served as a technology partner to the Korean consortium (GEO2, LX, EGIS), supplied all the necessary equipment, and prepared it for operation.

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

The project required a powerful hardware and software system capable of processing and storing massive amounts 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 charge of setting up the infrastructure:

• Specification development: selection of servers, storage systems, tape libraries, and SAN switches.
• Designing the network's logical structure, IP addressing, and routing rules.
• Preparing the environment for server installation, providing power, and laying cable routes.

Within a tight timeframe, the integrator’s engineers prepared equipment from leading global vendors. At the customer’s site, they installed the equipment, performed cross-connections using optical and copper patch cords, fully labeled the cable routes, updated the firmware to the latest versions, and configured the network.

Green Light’s specialists also upgraded the network core, deployed SAN switches to connect the servers to the storage system, and set up Internet access for the new server hardware, which was critical for the international development team’s work. For backup purposes, they installed, connected, and configured a tape library.

As a result, the Green Light team built a reliable hardware infrastructure, the engineers integrated the infrastructure into a single network and connected it to the Internet, which allowed the customer’s DevOps engineers to access the servers and complete the basic configuration of the operating systems (Linux) and the deployment of the target geographic information systems in a timely manner. In addition, Green Light prepared and delivered a complete set of as-built documentation: wiring diagrams, address tables, and configuration specifications.

Kyrgyzstan has switched 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, in collaboration with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of the Republic of Korea and leading Korean companies GEO2, EGIS, and LX, with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea It was reported that Kyrgyzstan had successfully transitioned to the World Geodetic System.

New technologies will improve the accuracy of spatial data and lay the groundwork for the further development of the national geodetic and cartographic information infrastructure.
