Telescope — GSM Tower Asset Management System

8,000+ towers, 150,000+ antennas across the network. Operators constantly replace, remove, and add antennas. The single source of truth for any tower’s state is the tower itself. Towers are surveyed several times a year, photographed from multiple angles and positions. These photos are the raw data that must be processed to derive the real state of the network assets.

The client managed all asset records in spreadsheets. While the primary goal was to determine which antennas are mounted on each tower and build a system for keeping that data current, getting there first required migrating the entire process into a unified platform. We built the ML Vision pipeline and the management system in parallel. Let’s start with the interesting part.
