How 'digital twins' of cell towers could speed 5G
Dish Network's Dave Mayo inquired about the condition of cell towers throughout the US during a keynote appearance at the Wireless Infrastructure Association's Connect (X) trade show. Sitetracker's Brant Carter said there's a push within the industry to create "digital twins" cell towers – exact digital 3D replicas of the real-world structures that companies can then use to make assessments, noting that cell tower owners like Crown Castle rent out space on their towers to network operators.
