Building Resilience Across Connected Networks

Telecommunications operators manage thousands of kilometres of linear and fixed infrastructure – from fibre corridors and masts to data centres and switching hubs.

Maintaining uptime, compliance, and resilience across such a vast, distributed estate is becoming increasingly complex, especially as demand for capacity and reliability grows.

StirlingX supports telecoms operators with highly automated drone operations and AI-driven analytics that provide a live, unified view of asset condition, network integrity, and environmental risk.

Our secure, managed service integrates resilient communications, multi-sensor payloads, and data intelligence to improve operational efficiency, reduce risk, and accelerate maintenance workflows.

The outcome: enhanced reliability, lower costs, and smarter, faster decision-making – without the burden of owning or managing your own drone fleet.

Operational Applications

  • Linear Network Monitoring – Continuous inspection of fibre routes, ducts, and overhead lines for damage, encroachment, or subsidence.
  • Tower and Site Assessment – Detailed inspections of antenna mounts, cables, and access structures without costly site visits.
  • Environmental Risk Mapping – Identify flood, vegetation, or erosion risks before they affect service continuity.
  • Maintenance Optimisation – Use predictive data to schedule repairs and prioritise investment.
  • Compliance and Documentation – Generate evidence-ready audit records aligned with industry safety and resilience standards.

How It Works

1. Network Assessment

StirlingX works with telecoms and network operators to define key inspection routes and assets – including fibre corridors, microwave links, towers, and exchange buildings.

2. Automated Deployment

Using our BVLOS-VM CAA permissions with our drones, StirlingX conducts repeatable, safe, and compliant flights across both linear and fixed assets, collecting high-resolution visual, thermal, and LiDAR data.

3. Multi-Sensor Data Capture

Data is encrypted and securely transmitted to the StirlingX platform, where it is processed, georeferenced, and integrated with existing asset management systems.

4. AI-Driven Analytics

Advanced algorithms identify degradation, vegetation encroachment, construction impact, or environmental hazards that threaten network integrity.

5. Actionable Intelligence

Insights are delivered through dashboards, alerts, and digital twins – providing engineering and operations teams with a precise understanding of risk and performance.

6. Continuous Improvement

Each mission concludes with a comprehensive review to measure outcomes against project objectives. Feedback loops and performance data are fed back into future operations.
