The Application of Digital Twins in Telecoms
Reality Capture of Radio Access Network (RAN)Towers Using Drones
About
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.
