MODELING FIBER CABLING ASSOCIATED WITH CELL SITES
First Claim
1. A method for creating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a cell site and associated fiber connectivity for one or more of a cell site audit, a site survey, and cell site planning and engineering, the method comprising:
- determining fiber connectivity at or near the cell site;
obtaining first data capture of the fiber connectivity at or near the cell site;
obtaining second data capture of one or more paths of the fiber connectivity from the cell site;
obtaining third data capture of the cell site including a cell tower, associated cell site components on the cell tower, one or more buildings, and surrounding geography around the cell site;
utilizing the first data capture, the second data capture, and the third data capture to develop the 3D model which comprises the cell site and the fiber connectivity; and
utilizing the 3D model to perform the one or more of the site audit, the site survey, and the cell site planning and engineering.
