Copper theft at telecom tower sites is reaching crisis levels. With organized groups targeting remote locations, these incidents are causing millions in damages, prolonged service disruptions, and putting public safety at risk by knocking out emergency communications and power.
The cost of a single theft incident can range from $5,000 to over $50,000—excluding the far greater impact of downtime and lost service. As these attacks grow more frequent and sophisticated, telecom providers need smarter solutions to stay ahead.
