      There are a few big projects going on across the country right now. We are actually releasing our platform that provides training in this industry, as well as 17 other industries on September 4th! Shoot me your email and I’ll get you a few weeks free to take a look at the telecom training. Most companies will want some level of experience (that’s what our training provides). Part of what our platform does is unlocks access to companies hiring in these industries once you’ve completed the training. We have partnered with 6 of the telecom vendors across the country.

      We have an online platform that teaches a lot of what you’re asking about. It features industry specific training for 18 different industries or “trades”. We also have business development which features SOPs, contracts, pricing and building a customer base. We’re launching with a free offering of the Ericsson AT&T training. It’s a huge nationwide contract in the telecom space that’s always looking for pilots. We’re hoping this qualifies more pilots looking for a full time career!

      To learn the basics, I think places like Zeitview and Droners.io (if new management can revive it) are great to learn. They don’t pay well but it’s paid experience. Once you feel more comfortable hop into telecom, utility inspections and/or mapping with vendors and learn as much as you can. Figure out your path and hit it hard!

    • @fulltimedrones
      @fulltimedrones 2 місяці тому

      The M30T works fairly well for solar and utility inspections, and doesn’t really work for telecom. My recommendation would be to pick up a M3E and a M3T (should be about the same cost as a M30T). The M3E is a workhorse for mapping, telecom and distribution utility inspections. The M3T serves all your solar and is way more efficient with thermal mapping.

      @fulltimedrones 9 місяців тому

      I agree it’s a concept most people aren’t familiar with until they’ve spent time to learn an industry. I think it’s an important approach because working off of day rates will leave you needing to be in the field every day, working off of value based pricing allows time for marketing, networking and business development.
