AT&T specifying IKE for Aerial Make-Ready-Engineering in its Articles
Another step towards the goal of being the pole record standard
ikeGPS (IKE) advises the following:
- That AT&T Inc. (AT&T), the largest communications company operating across North America, is writing the
‘IKE Standard’ into its Articles for aerial make-ready-engineering projects.
- These Articles define specific project standards for its internal engineers and external engineering service
providers.
- Approximately 100 external engineering groups maintain approximately 50% of the AT&T network.
- This progression follows AT&T’s internal process to standardize on the IKE record, and reflects the gains in
efficiency and consistency that IKE has delivered across its aerial make-ready-engineering activities.
- In practice, the IKE standard becoming a requirement in AT&T’s Articles means that for an engineering
company to bid on future aerial make-ready-engineering projects at AT&T – they will need to be using the IKE4
system in their workflow in most cases.
IKE CEO, Glenn Milnes, commented, “This is another positive step towards our goal to become the pole record standard
for our communications & fiber customers. Most pleasingly, this step reflects that AT&T has been successful with our
products and our team through the initial deployment of approximately 130 IKE4 systems, and we now have a further
meaningful tailwind so to sell into the large network of external engineering companies associated with AT&T and other
communications businesses.”

ENDS

IKE seeks to be the standard for collecting, managing and analysing pole and overhead asset information for electric
utilities, communications companies and their engineering service providers.
