Introduction to Communications Pole Audit

Communications Pole Audit can be used to streamline the pole audit process and help ensure accurate information for attachment billing.

Most communications providers attach their equipment to utility poles owned by other entities. Communications providers must request permission from pole owners to attach and comply with the pole owner’s attachment requirements.  Communications providers are also billed by pole owners on a recurring basis for attachments.  Optimizing pole audits reduces the cost of field data collection and helps communication providers ensure attachment bills are accurate.

The Communications Pole Audit solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you manage pole audits, perform audits in the field, monitor the progress and create pole audit deliverables.
