1. A method for verifying a cell site, the method comprising the steps of:

  • storing, in a database, an initial point cloud related to at least a cell tower at the cell site and cell equipment attached to the cell tower;

    developing a second point cloud based on current conditions of at least the cell tower and cell equipment at the cell site, wherein the second point cloud is based on data acquisition using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) at the cell site;

    detecting variations between the initial point cloud and the second point cloud; and

    responsive to detecting the variations, determining whether the variations are indicative of compliance related issues, wherein the compliance related issues are defined as an unauthorized amount of the cell equipment attached to the cell tower or the cell equipment being improperly attached to the cell tower.
