After contractors complete a tower installation, they run a short, fully autonomous telecom drone inspection focused only on the equipment that was modified. The drone captures the installation from the precise angles required for validation. Then, augmented reality overlays the operator’s planned design onto the live video feed. This allows contractors to compare as-planned vs as-built conditions directly in real time. If adjustments are needed, they are clear and visible. A quick re-survey confirms the corrections, and the site is ready to move forward in the site acceptance process.
