Abstract

Reality Capture of Radio Access Network (RAN)Towers Using Drones

For Radio Access Network (RAN) towers, digital twins can assist with asset management, improve maintenance and upgrade planning. The first step towards implementation is creating a digital model that represents aspects of the existing infrastructure. This predictive capability can be leveraged to manage complex networks and operations, enhancing service reliability and reducing operational costs.
