Telecom Infrastructure Reality Capture
Vertisend delivers the precise digital intelligence telecom carriers, tower companies, and network operators need to manage, plan, and maintain critical network infrastructure. Our engineering-grade reality capture and Ark Strategic processing platform transform site data into actionable deliverables for tower modifications, small cell deployments, and fiber route engineering.
Challenges We Solve
Common obstacles facing telecom infrastructure teams
Slow Tower Survey Turnaround
Traditional tower surveys take weeks. Equipment additions and 5G/6G upgrades require faster data to meet aggressive deployment timelines.
Solution: Our nationwide team of FAA Part 107 certified pilots delivers rapid site capture with project-specific turnaround aligned to your deployment schedule.
Inaccurate As-Built Documentation
Legacy tower drawings are often outdated or inaccurate, leading to engineering rework and failed equipment installations.
Solution: Engineering-grade point clouds and 3D models provide current, accurate as-built documentation you can trust for modification designs.
Difficult Site Access
Tower climbs are expensive, time-consuming, and carry safety risks. Remote sites compound logistics challenges.
Solution: Drone-based reality capture eliminates most climbing requirements while providing more comprehensive site documentation than manual methods.
Data Format Incompatibility
Survey data that doesn't integrate with your engineering and asset management systems creates workflow bottlenecks.
Solution: Deliverables in standard formats compatible with common RF engineering, structural analysis, and GIS platforms.
Why Leading Carriers Are Switching to Drone Surveys
The telecom industry is rapidly adopting drone-based reality capture for faster deployments, reduced costs, and improved safety.
Drone surveys complete in hours what manual methods take days
Significant savings versus traditional tower climbing crews
Documented savings on 5G tower upgrade programs
Based on industry research from PwC, Intellias, and documented carrier case studies
