New Study Verifies the Accuracy of OpenTower iQ Digital Twin Data

A new study verified that the data generated by OpenTower iQ Digital Twins is accurate, certifying it for use in cell tower maintenance. The study, sponsored by Bentley, in partnership with a major U.S. carrier, used OpenTower iQ to mimic the post-construction audit process of recent tower installations by the carrier. The data generated by OpenTower iQ was compared with the best-available, pre-existing data of those towers to establish a measure of accuracy.

How a Cell Tower Digital Twin Automates Lifecycle Management

Telecom towers have been categorized as critical assets as they provide ā€œenabling functionsā€ across all critical infrastructure sectors. Today, there are over 300 thousand cell towers in America alone which are expected to support an increasingly complex set of requirements from stakeholders. As carriers compete to establish the fastest and largest 5G network, existing cell towers will continue to be key infrastructure assets for the secure and efficient transmission of information, and they’ll be required to carry higher loads.

Success Story | FieldSync Leverages Digital Twins to Improve Tower Inspection Processes

FieldSync Technologies Case Study Overview Organization: FieldSync TechnologiesLocation: Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA Project Objectives: To digitize data collection and site analytics for lifecycle tower asset management. To establish digital twins to maximize the value of tower site assessments. Products Used: OpenTower iQ Modernizing Tower Inspection and Analysis Workflows In the fast-evolving telecommunications sector, traditional tower inspections are increasingly becoming a bottleneck. Recognizing the need for modernization, CTI Towers partnered with FieldSync Technologies to overhaul their inspection and data collection processes. The result? A 50% reduction in site visits, improved data accuracy, and new avenues for revenue generation—all powered by OpenTower iQ. FieldSync introduced an innovative approach by combining on-site climber data with drone-captured insights, creating comprehensive digital twins of CTI’s tower sites. This integration not only enhanced operational efficiency but also made critical tower data accessible across multiple departments. As Sam McGuire, Founder of FieldSync, puts it, ā€œThis new data format has helped us unlock tremendous cross-functional value from a single site visit. Our partnership with Bentley empowers us to deliver significant value to our customers across the entire supply chain.ā€ This case study highlights the transformative power of digitization in tower asset management, paving the way for smarter, more
