Photo Site Simulation
Cell tower photo simulation is a technology that utilizes computer-generated imagery (CGI) to simulate the visual impact of proposed cell towers on their surroundings. This process helps stakeholders, such as regulatory bodies, telecommunication companies, and local communities, to assess the aesthetic and environmental implications of new cell tower installations. By creating realistic visual representations of how a cell tower would appear in its proposed location, photo simulation aids in decision-making processes related to tower placement. This technology allows for a more informed and transparent discussion about the potential visual impact of cell towers, facilitating constructive dialogue between all involved parties and contributing to better-informed decisions on the deployment of telecommunication infrastructure.
Cell Tower Antenna Cluster
Aerial images of the equipment mounted to the tower are captured for close up inspection.
Aerial photos
Still pictures taken from any angle and height to best capture the details that are of interest for the client.
360o Flyover
360o active photo of the base of the tower and 360o aerial views of the antenna nest.
Features and Benefits
- $2,000 – $5,000 cost for a tower climb
- Reduce your cost by 1/3 using a drone
- The lower the inspection cost, the more inspections can be afforded.

Types of Missions
There are several reasons you would be looking to get aerial imagery of your vertical asset. Each reason involves a particular method for data acquisition of that asset. The list below describes each mission type and its purpose. Each mission type therefore comes with a unique degree of difficulty and associated cost. It all depends on what it is you need. Job complexity drives the scope of work.
Cell Tower Digital Twin
The Digital Twin of this tower can be used to inspect and measure areas of interest to determine the structural integrity of the tower and antenna clusters without having to physically climb the cell tower to inspect.
