What is OpenTower iQ?
OpenTower iQ is a single view of truth for all data utilized for the efficient operation of cell tower infrastructure. With tower data in a single location, collaboration that is visualized through a Digital Twin becomes easy for all stakeholders involved. Through an automated solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), manual processes and workflows are minimized or eliminated, dramatically improving efficiencies across the tower lifecycle. Key automated workflows include:
Increase Tower Tenancy
OpenTower iQ simplifies creating 3D models of tower infrastructure using existing legacy data, including PDFs. It streamlines the creation of reality models, design models, and mounting frames, providing a fully digitized twin of tower infrastructure.
Accelerate Project Delivery
OpenTower iQ’s digital twin visualizer enables remote site inspections. Fly-through or walk-in models use photorealistic measurement tools to inspect every aspect of a tower. Artificial intelligence and machine learning automatically detect defects, providing realistic asset conditions.
Reduce Opex Cost
Most engineering analysis for tower maintenance and equipment updates can be done within OpenTower iQ. The extensive telecom equipment catalog allows you to load and edit equipment for updates. Mount capacity analysis is fully automated and completed in minutes.
Make Data-Driven Decisions
OpenTower iQ automatically generates all necessary documents for construction and change implementation, including drawings, tower elevation, plan view, and site plan.

OpenTower iQ Features
- Automated Mount Analysis
-
Automated Mount Analysis
OpenTower iQ’s Mount Analysis is a user-driven tool that runs a full mount analysis of a detected mount and automatically generates a detailed report outlining the designated mount’s capacity. - Data Reconciliation & Validation
-
Automated Data Reconciliation & Validation
OpenTower iQ automatically compares as-built information with previously existing tower information including installed equipment specifications, equipment makes and models, mount types and availability, and more. From this comparison data can be reconciled, validated and automated reports like space availability can be created. - Legacy Data Digitization
-
Legacy Data Digitization
OpenTower iQ creates a detailed structural model of a tower through the ingestion of existing legacy data into the system. Legacy data can include design models from OpenTower Designer, MS Tower, tnxTower, RISA 3D, and several PDF outputs, like RISA 3D mount analysis, tnxTower MTO page, and others.
- As-Built vs As-Designed
-
As-Built vs As-Designed
OpenTower iQ allows as-designed models to be overlayed with as-built (reality) models to visually compare specifications of each model including, bearing angle, equipment position, azimuth, missing members, etc. Through our AI based automation, detected equipment can be compared to the design model, yielding a comparison table, organized at different mount levels.

Tower Model Generation
OpenTower iQ simplifies the creation of 3D models of your tower infrastructure by leveraging existing legacy data, including PDFs and other file types. The creation of reality models, design models, and mounting frames is streamlined to provide a fully digitized twin of tower infrastructure.
- Visualization
-
Best In-Class Digital Twin Visualizer
Within OpenTower iQ’s digital twin visualizer, site inspections are made possible from anywhere. Fly through or walk in each model and access photorealistic measurement tools to fully inspect every aspect of a tower with vivid structural details. Through powerful artificial intelligence and machine learning, OpenTower iQ automatically detects possible defects, providing realistic asset conditions. - Analytics and Planning
-
Assess Asset Condition and Inventory
Create an accurate representation of your tower data by the comparison and validation made simple in OpenTower iQ. Accurate data can then be used for planning of maintenance and upgrade needs. OpenTower iQ provides the ability to identify available space, edit and load new equipment, analyze mount capacity, and more. - Engineering
-
Perform Advanced Engineering Analysis and Reporting
OpenTower iQ features enable advanced engineering analysis, such as accurate modeling, modification layers, multiple scenarios, foundation checks, and connection design. - Approvals
-
Generate Pre-Construction Documentation
Generating proper documentation for construction and change implementation can take time, but within OpenTower, all necessary documents can be automatically generated, including drawings, tower elevation, plan views, and site plans.
