T-Mobile is experimenting since september 2014 with drones to carry out inspections on its antennae. To speed lwa nter to do, the company itself is now a pilot on to the installations to check.
The results of the first tests in the stadium of FC Utrecht were very encouraging, according to T-Mobile. According to a network specialist of the company, it would normally take a week to be with a cherry picker all stadionantennes and antennemasten to check and photos. Now flew the drone in fifteen minutes around the stadium and made this controlefoto. In addition to the cost savings that the use of a single drone delivers, saves also a lot of work. There is no need to access equipment more unnecessary used to be and there is to work under a lot more different weather than with a cherry picker.
The company has more than 5000 antenna locations in the Netherlands and therefore wants drones structural work. In mid-July, will the private pilot begin with the inspection of antennas throughout the country.
