Since its inception in 2018, the goal of the TIA Drones Ad Hoc Subcommittee (under TIA’s TR-14 Engineering Committee) has been to understand the needs of the tower industry and help usher in the next generation of field services and data analytics via unmanned aerial systems (UAS), otherwise commonly referred to as drones. With over 70 members, the TIA Drones Ad Hoc Subcommittee is comprised of stakeholders from major tower ownership groups, network operators, as well as dozens of the industry’s leading engineering and field service companies.
We have continued to see increased adoption of UAS projects in the tower industry. The catalyst behind the continued adoption has been the rapid technological enhancements enabling their deployments globally as well as increased competition which helps keep costs for the technology under control.
Enhancements in Technology
Flight Automation
The advancements in tower specific flight automation are enabling the collection of comprehensive datasets in short amounts of time. These datasets can be leveraged for comprehensive visual inspections or creating 3D virtual reconstructions commonly referred to as “digital twins”.
