The tower business is increasingly data intensive. Engineers and network planners need to know what RAN equipment is installed, where on the tower, how much space is available for new equipment, and the condition of the equipment and the tower itself.

All this data can be gathered, and drones are revolutionizing the process. Data analytics is not a buzz word but an important capability to support critical decision making for planning, building, and maintaining wireless infrastructure like towers.

Jacob Garland, CTO and Colin Blake, Director-Solutions Engineering at Pointivo discuss with John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor, how data analytics are increasingly important in the tower business.
