Virtual 360-degree view of a telecommunications site

A server for creating and utilizing a virtual 360-degree view of a 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 first data of a 360-degree view at multiple points around the telecommunications site;
• obtain second data of a 360-degree view at aerial points above the telecommunications site;
• obtain third data of a 360-degree view inside a shelter or cabinet at the telecommunications site, wherein each of the first data, second data, and third data comprise one or more of photos and video;
• stitch the first data, the second data, and the third data together with links to create a virtual 360-degree view environment of the telecommunications site, wherein the links enable virtual navigation about the telecommunications site;
• and
• display the virtual 360-degree view environment to a viewer over a network and adjust the virtual 360-degree view environment based on commands received from the viewer.

A non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• obtaining first data of a 360-degree view at multiple points around the telecommunications site;
• obtaining second data of a 360-degree view at aerial points above the telecommunications site;
• obtaining third data of a 360-degree view inside a shelter or cabinet at the telecommunications site, wherein each of the first data, second data, and third data comprise one or more of photos and video;
• stitching the first data, the second data, and the third data together with links to create a virtual 360-degree view environment of the telecommunications site, wherein the links enable virtual navigation about the telecommunications site;
• and
• displaying the virtual 360-degree view environment to a viewer over a network and adjusting the virtual 360-degree view environment based on commands received from the viewer.
