Cell phone towers need to be inspected and maintained on a regular basis so minor issues do not escalate into major and expensive repairs.  Safety and access are of the utmost concern in the process.  Using small, easily maneuverable UAVs which can see virtually any angle of the infrastructure can be a cost effective, quick, efficient and safe means of assessing the condition and orientation of all components of the tower.  Transmitting live, high resolution photography which management can see on the ground or from the desktop, any urgent decision making regarding follow up maintenance or repair procedures can be taken without delay.  Data can be stored and compared with each inspection, allowing for maintenance scheduling and budgeting.
