Jersey City, New Jersey – Amdocs (NASDAQ: DOX), a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, today announced that Verizon selected their Drone-Aided Site Audits solution, a collaboration with Amdocs partner, vHive, to assist in monitoring network assets.

Amdocs Drone-Aided Site and Inventory Audits provides Verizon with an advanced and safe way to gather information about cell sites by increasing the number of sites inspected daily. Working with vHive, the Amdocs solution powers autonomous drone flights, simplifying the data capture process, which is then used to automatically create Digital Twins, also known as a virtual 3D model of a physical asset and digital inventory of assets.

“We’re thrilled to leverage cutting-edge technology to help Verizon create Digital Twins of their network assets and simplify monitoring,” said Anthony Goonetilleke, group president of technology and head of strategy at Amdocs. “Seamless access to inventory for network scaling and optimisation enables service providers like Verizon to create the next generation of connected customer experiences at scale.”

Amdocs will be showing 5G solutions at Big 5G Event, May 15-17, Austin Convention Center, Austin, Texas.
