Analyzing base stations and antennas using drones and AI
Easily check high-altitude installation equipment
Scheduled for official release later this year


On the 23rd, Samsung Electronics unveiled a solution that optimizes 5G network performance by analyzing the installation status of base stations and antennas using drones and AI.

Samsung Electronics demonstrated a solution that uses drones to capture images of base station and antenna system installations in Suwon Digital City, Gyeonggi Province, where multiple 5G base stations and antennas are installed, transmits the images to a server, and then uses AI to analyze whether the base stations and antennas are maintained at the optimal angle, transmitting the results in real time to field workers.

The installation angle of base stations and antennas affects service coverage and the degree of interference with adjacent cells. Previously, multiple engineers had to visit each station individually and use heavy measuring equipment to measure the signals directly. This was costly and time-consuming, and the resulting measurements were prone to error.

Samsung Electronics' latest solution uses drones to measure the installation angles of base stations and antennas, making it easy to check equipment installed at high altitudes, such as on buildings, without compromising worker safety. Furthermore, close-up photography of the equipment is possible, minimizing measurement errors.

This solution is scheduled for official release later this year.
