According to CTIA (https://www.lightreading.com/5g/us-cell-site-count-nears-half-million ), the cell site count across the US has passed 400k on the way to half a million with accelerating 5G deployments. This massive increase in cell sites is putting a strain on telecom tower inspection resources. The need for regular TIAs, PIM mitigation, technology upgrades are all taxing maintenance resources. Telecom companies are turning to new drone inspection technologies supported by robust data management platforms like the industry-leading Optelos Asset Advisor to enable their stretched teams to do more with less. Reach out to an Optelos Solutions Expert, and we'll show you how we can help.
