Eliminate dangerous tower climbing with drone-based structural audits, antenna verification, and network planning surveys that accelerate 5G deployment across Singapore.
Singapore's telecommunications operators are in a race to deploy 5G networks while maintaining the reliability of existing 4G infrastructure. Both objectives demand frequent inspection and documentation of tower assets — structural condition, antenna configuration, cable routing, and co-location arrangements. Traditional tower climbing is the single most dangerous activity in the telecommunications industry, with falls from height representing the leading cause of fatalities.
Beyond safety, climbing is slow and expensive. A qualified tower crew can inspect two to three sites per day under ideal conditions. With hundreds of tower sites across Singapore and thousands across the region, maintaining an up-to-date asset register using manual climbing alone is impractical. Network planners also need accurate terrain and obstruction data for 5G cell placement — information that requires aerial surveys over proposed coverage areas.
Close-range drone inspection of tower structures, antennas, cables, waveguides, and mounting hardware — without climbing or outages.
Terrain and obstruction surveys for 5G cell placement, right-of-way mapping for fibre routes, and site acquisition documentation.
Build an in-house drone inspection programme — platform selection, pilot training, flight protocols for RF-active environments, and data integration with your asset management system.
Comprehensive visual inspection of tower members, bolted connections, platforms, climbing systems, and foundations. Identify corrosion, fatigue cracking, and structural deformation without putting a climber on the tower.
High-resolution imagery captures precise antenna azimuth, mechanical tilt, and mounting height. Verify that installed configurations match engineering specifications and identify co-location discrepancies.
Aerial terrain and building surveys provide the obstruction data that propagation models need for accurate 5G small cell placement. Identify optimal mounting locations and assess line-of-sight constraints.
Map proposed fibre optic and cable routes with centimetre-accurate terrain models. Identify utility conflicts, access constraints, and environmental sensitivities before construction begins.
Replace the vast majority of routine tower climbs with drone-based inspection. Reserve climbing only for maintenance activities that physically require human access.
Aerial terrain and obstruction surveys deliver the data 5G planners need in days instead of weeks — accelerating site selection and deployment timelines.
Complete photographic records of every tower face, every antenna, every cable run — creating a comprehensive digital twin of your tower portfolio.
Share your tower portfolio details — site count, inspection frequency, and deployment plans — and we will design a programme that keeps your network assets documented and safe.
