Virtual 360-degree view modification of a telecommunications site for planning, engineering, and installation

A server for creating, modifying, and utilizing a virtual 360-degree model of a telecommunications site for development at the telecommunications site, the server comprising:

• a network interface and a processor communicatively coupled to one another;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to
• obtain data capture from the telecommunications site prior to the development at the telecommunications site, wherein the data capture comprises one or more of photos and video;
• process the data capture to create a three-dimensional (3D) model of the telecommunications site in a pre-development state with associated geography of the telecommunication site;
• add one or more virtual objects to the 3D model of the telecommunication site, wherein the one or more virtual objects comprise one or more of telecommunications equipment and telecommunications buildings planned as possible installations to the telecommunications site;
• modify the 3D model to create a modified 3D model with the one or more virtual objects inserted in the 3D model in the pre-developed state such that the modified 3D model represents the telecommunications site in a developed state;
• and
• display the modified 3D model for one or more of planning and engineering associated with the development at the telecommunications site.

A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store a program for creating, modifying, and utilizing a virtual 360-degree model of a telecommunications site for development at the telecommunications site, the program including instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• obtaining data capture from the telecommunication site prior to the development at the telecommunications site, wherein the data capture comprises one or more of photos and video;
• processing the data capture to create a three-dimensional (3D) model of the telecommunications site in a pre-development state with associated geography of the telecommunications site;
• adding one or more virtual objects to the 3D model of the telecommunications site, wherein the one or more virtual objects comprise one or more of telecommunications equipment and telecommunications buildings planned as possible installations to the telecommunications site;
• modifying the 3D model to create a modified 3D model with the one or more virtual objects inserted in the 3D model in the pre-development state such that the modified 3D model represents the telecommunications site in a developed state;
• and
• displaying the modified 3D model for one or more of planning and engineering, associated with the development at the telecommunications site.
