Telecom Digital Twin & Remote Site Visit

SiteSee NexDT – Next-Generation Digital Twin for Telecom Infrastructure

The AI-powered NexDT platform helps TowerCos and network operators compress co-location and upgrade approval time from “months” down to “hours”, unlock recurring tower lease revenue, improve asset transparency, and drastically reduce repeated site visits.

The Problem

Slow Co-location = Tower Lease Revenue Lost Every Single Day

For TowerCos and telecom infrastructure providers, approving new tenants and upgrade requests often takes weeks or even months. Asset data is scattered across multiple systems, teams need to revisit the site several times, and workflows between RF engineering, structural engineers, commercial teams, and MNO customers are rarely connected end-to-end.

Fragmented Workflow

Photos, drawings, structural reports, and commercial contracts live in different systems. Each co-location request requires manual “re-assembly” every time.

Frequent Site Visits

Traditional surveys demand multiple visits by several teams, increasing OPEX and exposing staff to unnecessary safety risks.

Non-Real-Time Inventory

Equipment data on towers is rarely up to date, causing miscalculations in structural load and misunderstandings about available space.

Missed Lease Revenue

Every extra week in the approval process equals recurring lease revenue that is delayed – or lost – for each tower.

Solution

NexDT – Digital Twin & Remote Site Visit Platform for TowerCos

NexDT is purpose-built for TowerCos. It brings together drone capture, AI/ML analytics, interactive 3D Digital Twin, and online co-location workflows into a single platform – to accelerate revenue and reduce the cost of field operations.

1

Drone Capture & Digital Twin

High-resolution drone surveys capture towers and rooftop sites from every angle, then generate a 3D Digital Twin that can be inspected interactively from a single, browser-based portal.

2

AI & ML Analytics at Scale

AI automatically detects antennas, RRHs, cables and other assets on the structure, analyses structural conditions, improves data quality, and generates standardized reports at massive scale.

3

Remote Site Visit & Co-location Workflow

Replace many physical site visits with Remote Site Visits (RSV), where TowerCos, MNOs, structural engineers and RF teams collaborate in real time on the same Digital Twin scene – reducing iterations and speeding up approval dramatically.

System Integration & Open Data

NexDT integrates with ERP, OSS and industry platforms (such as AIM Workspace, Sitetracker), so Digital Twin asset data becomes the single source of truth for engineering, operations and commercial teams.

ESSNext as Local Partner

ESSNext acts as your local partner in Thailand – advising on architecture design, integrating with existing systems, running pilot projects, and scaling up to nationwide deployment together with your network and infrastructure partners.

Business Impact

From “Tower Survey Cost Center” to “Data-Driven Lease Revenue Engine”

Shorter Approval Lead Time

Compress approval from “months” down to “hours / a few days” depending on your internal process – enabling earlier recognition of tower lease revenue.

Accurate Inventory & Fair Lease

Up-to-date equipment positions and tenancy footprints reduce contractual disputes and support compliance with EPA and other regulatory requirements.

Fewer Site Visits & Lower Risk

Engineering teams and customers collaborate via Remote Site Visits on the Digital Twin instead of climbing real towers – reducing cost and improving safety.

Unlock “Super Profit Co-location”

Real-time visibility into available space and structural headroom helps TowerCos identify and close new co-location opportunities faster and more confidently.

Telecom Use Cases

Real Use Cases of SiteSee NexDT for Telecom Infrastructure

NexDT is built from real-world experience working with telecom infrastructure providers across multiple countries — from asset inspection, inventory accuracy, and engineering validation, to accelerating Co-location and 5G rollout on existing tower assets.

TowerCo – Co-location & Lease Accuracy

Enable TowerCo and MNO teams to view the exact same tower/rooftop data via NexDT and Remote Site Visit (RSV). Validate available space, mounted equipment, and lease boundaries with clarity, reducing inventory disputes and accelerating new Co-location deals significantly.

5G Rollout & Network Upgrade

Use high-resolution Digital Twins to plan 5G / Massive MIMO installations, perform pre-check structural load analysis, reduce physical site visits, and shorten the entire design → approval → build cycle for every site.

Network Audit & Regulatory Compliance

Use NexDT for as-built audits to confirm that actual installations match design drawings and lease agreements. Supports regulatory inspections such as radiation safety, zone control, and provides digital evidence for contractor validation.

Preventive Maintenance & Safety

Use high-resolution imagery and the Digital Twin to detect corrosion, cracks, misaligned equipment, or structural risks. Reduce tower climbs and move toward predictive maintenance with safer, data-driven planning.

In international telecom deployments, Digital Twin + Drone Inspection has shown cost reductions in tower inspection and maintenance of over 60–70%, and shortened project delivery lead time from “several weeks” to “just a few days.” These benchmarks guide how NexDT aims to transform telecom operations in Thailand.
