Gyroscopic-based IMU Mapping Technology for Underground Utilities

Underground Utilities & Telecom Industry Challenges

The recent Apple event has confirmed what is now a widespread knowledge. 5G is here and it is taking over the world. With Apple’s iPhones, 5G has now gone fully mainstream.

The big issue with 5G right now is that infrastructure still needs to catch up. To satisfy this rapidly growing demand, there will be a massive effort to upgrade the 4G infrastructure to 5G. Inevitably, mapping underground assets will become essential and knowing what lies beneath will be very important to expand 5G without incurring high costs. PRISUM addressed this with its 3D mapping solutions.

Reduces Risk of Damage to Ultra-High Fiber Cable During Deployment

This detailed technical white paper by Santosh Kumar Saride and Michael Newman demonstrates the capabilities of PRISUM Technology’s state of the art gyroscopic underground mapping solution.

The paper will first do a deep dive into the current state of the 5G infrastructure market and its challenges, such as installing high fiber count infrastructure across North America—providing access to clear information about existing underground assets.

The paper then explores the hardware and the software of the PRISUM 3D Underground Gyroscopic Mapping Technology. You will see the advantages and benefits over other mapping solutions such as ground-penetrating radar and beacon-based systems, followed by a successful use case with a fiber optic cable manufacturer.
