FAQs
What data points are collected about a pole using the IKE Device?
The IKE Device captures measurable pole photos, pole tags, equipment, bearings, pole location, and more. It also measures span length and bearing, anchor lead length and bearing, and midspan heights.
How accurate are measurements captured by the IKE Device?
A robust set of sensors provides heights of attachment at 1” or better, and you can choose from either 5' or 1” location accuracy with the IKE device’s GNSS receiver.
What are the tech specs of the IKE Device?
See the IKE Device/IKE+ data sheet for full specifications.
How does the IKE Device connect with the back office?
With the IKE Device, a solo fielder can quickly pass acquired data back to the office for measurement and management in IKE Office Pro via cloud upload. IKE Office Pro creates a centralized location for collected field data and creates a standardized collection of pole records that integrate with all leading third-party software platforms in the industry.
