'ambrePole' is a Mobile Pole Survey application used to create Pole Permits and to perform other general Telecommunications Aerial Infrastructure survey types. It is a ‘visual’ based utility that allows you to collect infrastructure data, and then transpose that data into several invaluable products. It is a new approach that replaces the tedious survey process (which, for the most part, is still in the stone age) and in so doing, improving and eliminating MUCH of the downstream engineering processes. 'ambrePole' is both a CAD & Spacial GIS world - tailored first, to the Surveyor. Once a surveyor is familiarized with the app, the survey time and effort is cut down by 20% to 60% over the traditional method. But the real benefits are the Quality Control, and (again) the downstream steps eliminated due to the exported product suit! With no costs other than the app's annual subscription, the app will directly export: o Set of photos (prefixed by the Pole or other structure reference title) o kmz Google Overlay (which includes embedded photos and pole structure attribute rake-offs) o csv database (can be manipulated into design & calc software) o ap database (lightweight file used for device exchange and import) The ‘Extended Processing’ package includes o GIS oriented CAD dwg Overview (in your choice of Coordinate Reference System) o 2D dwg Profile Drafts (to be placed on your Permit drawings) o Pole Profiles (2 pages per pole - in dwg format) o Pole Profiles (2 pages per pole - in pdf format) Pole Profiles include: • Pole Info Rake-Off • 2D & 3D views with height call outs • Detailed Attachment Call Outs • Dips Overview • Angle and Feed Overview The cost of man hours drafting 2D dwg Profile Drafts alone would typically add up to more that we charge for the entire ‘Extended Processing’ product suit. Say ‘good-bye’ to extensive errors from data re-entry and ‘hello’ to survey with Quality Control. Try out the app for free, then subscribe to an Annual (All-In) Subscription when you are happy and want to start exporting your projects. o Terms of Use: https://ambrecomm.com/terms-of-use o Privacy Policy: https://ambrecomm.com/privacy o Deliverables (survey output samples): https://ambrecomm.com/deliverables o Tutorials: https://ambrecomm.com/tutorials o Extended Processing Pricing: https://ambrecomm.com/pricing
