Autonomous Network Verification
Deploy drones and computer vision to audit every metre of your outside plant construction. Catch errors before they become legacy debt.
Close the loop on construction quality
AltaAI Sentinel closes the loop between what was designed, what was built, and what your systems of record believe is true. By pairing drones with geo-AI models, Sentinel can spot deviations, missing assets, unsafe spans, and routing issues at scale.
Instead of relying solely on manual site walks and spot checks, Sentinel lets you fly entire corridors and generate automated validation reports. It marks where builds differ from design, pushes structured updates into Nexus, and triggers playbook responses in Blueprint, Vision, and Fusion.
You can start small—one corridor, one pilot—then scale up to programmatic QA for every build. Sentinel is built to plug into your existing drone operations, or to work with specialized partners.
Drone AI & Technical Capabilities
- • Supports both nadir and oblique imagery, as well as lidar point clouds.
- • Uses computer vision models to detect poles, spans, trenches, handholes, and other key assets.
- • Performs spatial alignment with Nexus so every detection is tied to a real asset ID.
- • Generates human-readable overlays and machine-readable change sets.
- • Can run fully on-prem with the right GPU footprint, or connect to external model providers via env-controlled APIs.
Integration Notes
Sentinel is intentionally flexible. Some teams operate their own drone fleets, while others lean on third-party providers. Sentinel focuses on ingest, AI analysis, and integration into your systems.
- • Connect to drone management platforms and flight logs.
- • Export validation reports into project controls systems.
- • Trigger rework tickets and follow-up inspections when thresholds are exceeded.
- • Feed accepted as-builts into Nexus as the new source of truth.

Why AltaAI vs. traditional tools
Legacy & Manual Workflows
- Manual as-built capture that varies wildly between crews and contractors.
- Limited visibility into deviations until problems surface months later.
- Inconsistent evidence for regulators, partners, and finance teams.
- Digital twins that drift away from reality with every project.
AltaAI-Native Workflows
- Programmatic, repeatable QA powered by drones and geo-AI.
- Structured deviations and as-built updates pushed into Nexus.
- Evidence-grade reports and visualizations at corridor scale.
- Digital twins that stay aligned with reality over the life of the network.
