Where does your VISIBILITY end?

Asset management is the practice of getting the most value from physical infrastructure over its whole life, from planning and building through operating, maintaining and eventually replacement. For cellular carriers and electric utilities, visibility is hard to achieve. A single utility may own tens of thousands of transmission structures and millions of components such as insulators, conductors, splices, dampers and hardware. A wireless carrier may manage thousands of towers and rooftop sites, each with antennas, cables, mounts and equipment cabinets. Unmanned aircraft (UAVs) are changing how these assets are inspected. Capture every face of a tower in high resolution, without climbers or bucket trucks. Improve visibility by inspecting more often, collect better data on each visit, and store that data so trends can be seen over time.
