Telecommunications

Overview

Telco and Tower companies are focused on deploying, operating and maintaining telecom infrastructure. Their performance is based on their capability to maximize revenue and reduce operational cost from their assets. The need to inspect, measure and check towers for inaccuracies is the foundation of their on-going operations. With a vibrant M&A scene and the emergence of 5G, Tower companies depend more than ever on a rapid, accurate and in-depth understanding of their asset base to be successful and profitable.

Need

The need to inspect, measure, check for inaccuracies on the tower is the base of the Tower companies on-going operations.
The emergence of 5G is driving increased inspection complexity with more sites in densely populated areas. Resulting in the need to inspect more sites, and more data to be collected and analyzed, all while increasing efficiency and reducing overall maintenance costs. TowerCos depend on these "digital twins" to get an in-depth understanding of their tower asset base to be successful and profitable.
A typical tower inspection requires tower climbers to climb very tall towers, take pictures and perform measurements while putting themselves in danger. This process is complex, takes long hours and requires several field personnel to be on site for safety.

Key Business Drivers

5G

Provide an interactive, realistic 3D visualization of what planned sites will

look along with 360° line of site analysis, simplifying and shortening the regulatory approval process.
