Australian-based wireless infrastructure provider Lumea announced it has partnered with LeBLANC and SiteSee to create a fully digitized infrastructure portfolio accessible through a self–service portal which will streamline applications, inspection and maintenance activities for Lumea’s telecommunications wireless colo customers. The platform is designed to enable customers to virtually scope sites in 3D, instantly deliver accurate ‘As-Surveyed’ information and inventory comparison reports with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) mapping via SiteSee’s Artificial Intelligence Digital Twin technology and doceo, LeBLANC’s digital engineering services.
The company said customers will no longer need to physically inspect sites to apply or manage their equipment on leased sites, instead being able to virtually add and remove their equipment. Doing so will instantly convert to an application to colocate, saving time on both site visits and detailed desktop analysis.
The self-service portal will be available to all Lumea Wireless colo customers who lease space from a range of 37,000+ towers spanning both metro and regional NSW and ACT. The tool is designed to optimize obligatory compliance and safety processes, while also enables customers to immediately evaluate Lumea sites for space reservations, Electromagnetic Energy (EME), and separation, as well as easily add equipment to the digital twin which will convert into an online application.
Lumea Head of Telecommunications, Glenn Wood said “This tool further demonstrates the investment we are making in smart application and maintenance programs to advance digital connectivity across our network. This is another example where we are bridging the digital divide by enabling better mobile coverage and critical communication services for consumers in rural and regional areas.”
Wood said the high-quality 3D modeling tool will also be able to be used as navigating tools for engineers and planners to make better informed decisions based on live, factual information, as well as streamlining processes for mobile network operators to rollout their wireless networks at a faster pace.
Lumea Wireless Colocation Manager Claudine Southwell said “Collaborating on Site Discovery with LeBLANC and SiteSee is a great step in our digital transformation journey. This is a game changer for our customers as it will cut out the capital and labor costs of conducting site visits, save time on Site Acquisition, Environment and Design (SAED) and redesign work, instantaneously evaluate installations, and increase their speed to market.”
