Using Technology to Effectively and Efficiently Manage Pole Attachment Requests Part 1 & 2

Utility poles are the backbone of the nation, electric grid, and telecommunications networks. Increased government funding for broadband and smart grid networks coupled with regulations intended to accelerate the deployment of broadband services will increase activities around utility poles. The session will identify many of the challenges faced by pole owners, and broadband providers throughout the pole attachment process and provide some practical solutions to collect and process pole attachment data efficiently and accurately to ensure the safe and reliable attachment of broadband lines and equipment to utility poles.

Attendees will learn practical knowledge on topics such as:

• Required data collection attributes
• Pole loading
• Make ready engineering
• Pole attachment codes, specifications, and regulations
• Broadband funding and other industry drivers
• LiDAR and digital collection solutions
