Telecom Shows Interest in Visual Intelligence’s Revamped Engineering Class Drone Sensors Leveraging Sony Electronics’ Alpha 7R IV Camera

HOUSTON – Feb. 13, 2023 – Visual Intelligence, the first unified drone sensor and software platform
capable of digitizing physical infrastructure at millimeter accuracy, is ramping up production on a new
lightweight version of its patented Engineering Class drone sensor. The manufacturing increase is in
response to renewed interest from the Telecom sector in an emerging category of drone data offerings
that serve engineering workflows and benefit digital twin analysis across an asset’s complete lifecycle.
Visual Intelligence was founded by Ted Miller, who is well-known in the Telecom industry. Previously, Mr.
Miller founded Crown Castle International Corp. (NYSE:CCI), a global wireless communications
infrastructure company currently valued in excess of $80 billion, where he served as Chairman and CEO.
Mr. Miller is currently also involved in various other Telecom-adjacent technology ventures.

“While drone technology isn’t new to the Telecom industry, drone data that has engineering applications
is unprecedented,” said Ted Miller, Founder and Chairman of Visual Intelligence. “The industry is finally
ready to switch out of analog-mode and embrace digital reinvention. As more companies discover the
potential of Engineering Class 3D data, we’re aligning ourselves with market leaders like Sony
Electronics, who are equipped to grow and serve an international audience.”

The latest version of Visual Intelligence’s MACS-3DTM sensor features a compact and lightweight design
that provides increased compatibility with smaller commercial-class drones, including the popular DJI
Matrice 300. The patented dual-sensor drone payload is equipped with two Sony Alpha 7R IV cameras
that have been specialized for tower data collection. Visual Intelligence worked closely with Sony to
integrate Sony Alpha-series technology into the sensor’s unique dual-camera configuration, optimizing
the setup for 3D reality model coverage and accuracy.

“Sony Alpha camera technology combined with Visual Intelligence’s automation platform and design for
UAS payloads creates transformative, engineering-grade data for design, 3D modelling, inspection, and
analysis of critical infrastructure,” said John Monti, Director Industrial Camera Solutions, Sony Electronics
Inc. “We value our relationship with Visual Intelligence as we explore the boundaries of image sensing
combined with drone-based methodologies for photogrammetry.”
Visual Intelligence is currently engaging in Telecom projects with multiple tower companies across the
Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Africa.


About Visual Intelligence

Visual Intelligence is a unified drone sensor and software automation platform that digitizes physical
infrastructure with millimeter accuracy to reliably deliver 3D, engineering-grade asset intelligence.
Using patented dual-sensor drone technology and proprietary enterprise software, Visual Intelligence
generates billions of datapoints to map exponentially more measurable surface area than any alternative
aerial or ground-based method. Our unique sensor-software pairing is the first industry solution that
enables enterprises to capture and execute around engineering-grade digital twins. By maximizing data
fidelity and coverage, we’re exponentially increasing the ability of artificial intelligence to automate
performance capacity at an engineering level, feeding insights upstream and across new business units,
vendors and geography. visualintelligenceinc.com
