    Abstract: Systems and method for creating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a cell site and associated fiber connectivity for one or more of a cell site audit, a site survey, and cell site planning and engineering include determining fiber connectivity at or near the cell site; obtaining first data capture of the fiber connectivity at or near the cell site; obtaining second data capture of paths of the fiber connectivity from the cell site; obtaining third data capture of the cell site including a cell tower, associated cell site components on the cell tower, one or more buildings, and surrounding geography around the cell site; utilizing the first data capture, the second data capture, and the third data capture to develop the 3D model; and utilizing the 3D model to perform the one or more of the site audit, the site survey, and the cell site planning and engineering.

    Abstract: A method performed at a cell site with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communicatively coupled to a controller to perform a cell site audit, without requiring a tower climb at the cell site, includes causing the UAV to fly substantially vertically up to cell site components using the controller, wherein flight of the UAV is constrained in a three-dimensional rectangle at the cell site; collecting data associated with the cell site components and the surrounding airspace and environment using the UAV; transmitting and/or storing the collected data; and processing the collected data to obtain information for the cell site audit.

    Abstract: A battery installation method in a shelter or cabinet includes placing a plurality of batteries on shelves of a battery installation apparatus; moving the battery installation apparatus into the shelter or cabinet to a location proximate and adjacent to a battery system in the shelter or cabinet; adjusting an upper shelf of the shelves on the battery installation apparatus based on the battery system; and moving each of the plurality of batteries from the shelves to the battery system. A battery installation apparatus for installing and removing batteries in a shelter or cabinet a frame comprising four posts, wherein the frame is dimensioned to maneuver in the shelter or cabinet; a lower shelf fixed to the frame; an upper shelf moveable on the frame, wherein each of the lower shelf and the upper shelf are dimensioned to support the batteries; and omnidirectional wheels disposed to each of the four posts.
