AT&T Drones for Tower Inspections
AT&T recently announced that its earlier drone trials were successful and that it will start to use drones for its own tower operations by the end of September.
This marks another step in UAVs’ expansion across industries and sectors worldwide.During the trials, AT&T found that drones were especially useful at being surrogate tower climbers, as the drones allowed AT&T personnel to perform a larger portion of their work firmly from the ground.
Art Pregler, drone program director at AT&T, showed the usefulness of drones in a video showcasing their use of the DJI Inspire 1. Using the industry leading DJI Inspire 1, AT&T confirmed that drones can improve both work safety and efficiency.
