Many of us have heard of UAV used in military technologies, as well as, Amazon\u2019s most recent drone plans. Their \u201cquadcopter\u201d delivery army of the future. They\u2019re changing how we live and how we work\u2026they\u2019re changing the world. Drones impact <a title=\"We Keep Our Clients Connected\" href=\"services\/telecommunications\/\">telecommunication<\/a> towers already, while future effects are still to be determined. They are delivering data for many industries including construction, energy and transportation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Unmanned Aerial Systems and Their Impact on Telecommunication Towers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Drone-delivered data has big potential. From using the devices to inspect <a title=\"Types Of Towers In Telecom\" href=\"articles\/types-of-towers-in-telecom\/\">telecommunication towers<\/a> for damage to testing the performance of its wireless network many businesses are <a title=\"AT&amp;T Turns To Drones\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/business\/technology\/att-turns-to-drones-to-help-keep-cell-towers-humming\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">phasing in a drone program<\/a> to run their operations more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>UAVs are enhancing the operations- allowing the wireless infrastructure industry to see asset tags, document the appendages of the tower, offer a 3-D CAD modeling, identify any possible errors with the tower and even carry signal analyzers to measure the radiation patterns of the tower antennas.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Drones Deliver Data For Cell Tower Industry\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rcrwireless.com\/20160219\/network-infrastructure\/towers\/drones-deliver-data-for-cell-tower-operators-tag4\" rel=\"nofollow\">RCWireless reports<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cRecognizing the value of drones to the cell tower industry, the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) has established an unmanned aerial systems committee to monitor trends and regulatory concerns and to make recommendations about best practices for drone use in the tower industry. The committee works closely with the Federal Aviation Administration, which is still in the process of drafting rules for commercial drone use.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The New Regulations Are Here.

The Government mandates that operators keep the vehicle within visual line of sight. They can only fly during the day and maintain a flying level below 400 feet above the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The FAA says,<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese new regulations work to harness new innovations safely, to spur job growth, advance critical scientific research and save lives. \u2018We are part of a new era in aviation, and the potential for unmanned aircraft will make it safer and easier to do certain jobs, gather information, and deploy disaster relief,\u2019 said U.S. Transportation Secretary, Anthony Foxx.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Businesses must register there participating drones. Drones must also weigh less than 55 pounds and can&#8217;t exceed 100 miles per hour.
