Uncovering the unreleased Far Cry 5 in-game Encyclopedia

In the game’s files, it’s possible to find content that, for whatever reason, ended up being cut. In oasisstrings, a file that contains all the in-game text, traces of an unused but nearly complete “encyclopedia” still exist.

Although the names of locations and characters are scattered in the document and not always near the corresponding descriptions, I tried my best to reconstruct the lost encyclopedia. This is what I found.

Please note that it’s still cut content, so some information might not be relevant anymore.

You can read the oasisstrings file here. Pictures from this encyclopedia were also extracted and posted by @xbaebsae here.

#44 Borders and Suffering

I live in a safe country in the Middle East. It's a sentence that doesn't register with most people. It's true though. Jordan hasn't been involved in a major war in over 50 years, crime rates are low, and despite the lack of a functioning democratic system, people here enjoy a lot of rights and freedoms.

Until you cross the northern border into Syria. Or briefly drive through Syria to get to Lebanon. Or cross the western border into Palestine and Israel. Or the eastern border into Iraq. Or, arguably, even the southern border into Saudi Arabia.

We could spend years debating what has happened to make the Middle East what it is today. But what I find baffling is how much of your life, your opportunities, your right to survive depends on which side of a border you live on.

I wrote about the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquakes for work - 60,000 dead, 1.5 million homeless. If you were a Syrian refugee in Türkiye, you got international search and rescue. If you were a Syrian displaced inside your country rather than across the border, you got the hands of your neighbours.

For the first month of the war, I wrote about Gaza. October 7 was horrific. But if you were north of that border, you had one of the best healthcare systems in the world and one of the strongest militaries backing you. If you lived south of that border, then within the first weeks, your water was cut off, your trade routes were cut off, fuel ran out, hospitals shut down, telecoms shut off. Maybe you planned for years to murder Israelis. Maybe you were just born.

In the last few weeks, I've been writing about Lebanon. Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel for a year now. Israel has been retaliating in the spirit of 4 eyes for one eye (i.e. 4 times as many strikes; see here). If you live south of that border, you get an air siren alarm and and a bomb shelter. If you live north of that border, you might get an SMS, or else maybe you'll see the post on X of some high-ranking Israeli with the aerial image of your house, or maybe nothing at all, and if you have a car, you can try to drive away. 71 Israelis have been killed and around 70,000 displaced. Some 2,300 Lebanese have been killed and around 750,000 displaced. Maybe your life's ambition was the destruction of Israel.

Maybe you woke up on the wrong side of a border.

Joshua Hangshing’s 7-year-old son died less than an hour after being shot in the head. But it wasn’t the bullet that killed him.

On June 4, Hangshing set off from a relief camp in the Kangpokpi district of the northeastern Indian state of Manipur. He and his family had moved there for safety after fighting broke out the month before between the state’s majority Meitei community and the minority Kuki-Zo. Clashes had erupted that day just a mile away from the camp, so Hangshing ventured out to fetch water in case they needed to take shelter for a prolonged period.

As he returned to the camp, he saw Tonsing, his youngest child, waving gleefully at him from a first-floor window. Then Tonsing fell, shot in the head. “It couldn’t have been a stray bullet,” Hangshing says. “I suspect it was a sniper.”

Tonsing was still breathing when Hanshing reached him, but he had lost a lot of blood. When an ambulance arrived, Hanshing stayed behind while his wife went with their son to the nearest hospital, 10 miles away in the capital city of Imphal. They were halfway there when they were ambushed by militants, who set fire to the ambulance. Tonsing and his mother, Meena, were burnt alive.

The brutal murder of two innocent people is the kind of horror that should have made the news across India, even across the world. But Hanshing’s story is only coming out now, months on, because of an internet blackout covering the whole of Manipur. At least 180 people have died, and more than 60,000 people have been made homeless. Villages have been set alight and neighbors have lynched neighbors as the authorities fail to control the escalating violence. For three months, hidden from the eyes of the world, Manipur has burned in the dark.

The relationship between the predominantly Hindu Meitiei community, which makes up 53 percent of Manipur’s population, and the Kuki community, which accounts for 28 percent and is largely Christian, has long been frosty.

But the situation has deteriorated rapidly this year. A military coup and civil war in neighboring Myanmar has led to thousands of refugees moving into Manipur. Many of the new arrivals are of Kuki-Chin-Zo ethnicity, who are culturally and ethnically close to the local Kuki population. Some in the Meitei community have seen this as a threat to their political dominance. In late March, a court in Manipur awarded the Meitei “tribal status”—a protected status that gives them access to economic benefits and quotas for government jobs, and allows them to purchase land in the hillside areas where Kuki tribes are concentrated.

Kuki groups say giving the majority community access to minority protections will strengthen the Meitei’s stronghold over the state. Meitei groups accuse Kukis of importing weapons from Myanmar to fight a civil war. On May 3, some from the Kuki community staged a rally in Churachandpur district to protest the court ruling. After the protest, an Anglo-Kuki War memorial gate—marking a war between Kukis and the British in 1917—in Churachandpur was set on fire by Meiteis, which triggered riots that killed 60 in the first four days.

It was just the start of a wildfire of violence that would spread across the state, with barbaric murders, beheadings, gang rapes, and other crimes. Outnumbered, the minority Kukis have suffered most.

But as the fighting began, on May 4, the Indian government did what it has done time and time again when faced with internal conflict. It shut off the internet.

The national government has the power to order telecom providers to stop providing fixed-line and mobile internet, using an emergency law. It did it 84 times in 2022 and 106 times in 2021, according to Access Now, a nongovernmental organization that tracks internet disruptions.

Most of the shutdowns were in the disputed territory of Kashmir, but they have been applied across the country. In December 2019, internet shutdowns were imposed in parts of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Assam, and Meghalaya after protests over a proposed citizenship law that would have rendered hundreds of thousands of Muslims stateless. In January and February 2021, the internet was disrupted around Delhi, where farmers were protesting agricultural reforms.

The justification for these shutdowns is that it stops disinformation from spreading on social media and helps keep a lid on unrest. In May, in Manipur, the government said the blackout was “to thwart the design and activities of anti-national and anti-social elements and to maintain peace and communal harmony … by stopping the spread of misinformation and false rumors through various social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. … ” It didn’t work.

On the first day of the shutdown, a Meitei mob went on a rampage in Imphal, seeking out Kukis to attack. As the violence spread, two young Kuki women in their early twenties huddled in their room above a carwash, where they worked part time. But the mob found them. Witnesses told the women’s families that seven Meitei men barged into their room and locked the door from inside. For two hours, the door remained shut. People outside could hear the screams of the women, which became muffled with time. When the door opened, the two women were dead. The families are certain their daughters were raped before being murdered.

The father of one of the women, whom WIRED is not identifying in order to protect the identity of his daughter, says he was told by a nurse at a hospital in Imphal that his child had been killed. Nearly three months after her death, her body is still in Imphal, along with dozens of unclaimed bodies rotting in the city hospitals because the Kuki families in the hills can’t go to Imphal Valley to claim them.

“It was her dream to become a beautician and start her own parlor. She always wanted to be financially independent,” the father says. She had finished her course in Imphal and was tantalizingly close to living her dream. About two months before the incident, she had rented a place in the city where she could open her beauty parlor. “She took up a part-time job to support her dream,” her father says. “She was excited about her future.”

The violence between the two communities has spiraled. Nearly 4,000 weapons have reportedly been stolen from the police, according to local media. Some Kukis have accused the police—many of whom are from Meitei communities—of standing by while Kukis are being attacked, and even of supporting Meitei extremist groups. Hangshing’s wife and son were killed despite a police escort. “How did the mob burn down the ambulance in police presence?” he says. “What did the police do to protect my wife and son?”

The police in Imphal declined to comment.

Today there is almost complete separation between the two communities, both of whom have their private militias protecting their territories. Kuki areas in Imphal are completely deserted. Meiteis in Kuki-dominated districts have been driven out of the hills.

At a relief camp opened in a trade center in Imphal, Budhachandra Kshetrimayum, a Meitei private school teacher, says his village, Serou in the Kakching district, was attacked by Kuki militants on the night of May 28. “The firing started out of nowhere,” he says. “They barged into the village and began torching the Meitei houses.”

Kshetrimayum had two options: either stay inside and be burned with his house, or run to the house of a local lawmaker for safety and risk being shot dead on the way. He chose the latter. “Luckily, I survived the firing and reached his house, where several other Meiteis were hiding,” he says. “His bodyguards were on the roof, firing back at the Kukis so they couldn’t come and get us.”

The next morning, Kshetrimayum found his house reduced to rubble.

Not too far from his home lived the widow of a leading fighter for India’s independence against Great Britain. “When I went closer, I realized that they had burnt the house with his 80-year-old wife inside it,” he says. “I could see her skull amid the debris. Since that night, I have been living in relief camps. I wear other people’s clothes. I eat other people’s food. I am a refugee in my own state.”

These aren’t isolated stories. Across the state, I heard eyewitness accounts of lynchings and murders, rapes, riots, and the burning of homes. After largely ignoring the crisis in Manipur for weeks, over the past couple of weeks, journalists from across India have descended on the state, thanks to a single video that leaked out from under the shroud of the blackout.

It’s not clear how the footage got out. But the 26-second video was posted on Twitter on July 20. It shows two Kuki women in Kangokpi being stripped and paraded naked by a mob. The women’s families say they were later gang-raped.

The video shook the conscience of India and shed light on the gravity of the situation in the state. It compelled Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak about Manipur for the first time, 77 days after the violence broke out. “Any civil society should be ashamed of it,” he said.

After the police arrested one person accused of participating in the attack, N. Biren Singh, the chief minister of Manipur, tweeted that strict action would be taken against all the perpetrators. But the incident had happened months before, on May 4, the first day of the blackout. The husband of one of the women in the video claims that the police were on the spot when it happened, but did nothing to stop it. In other words, the police were compelled to take action after the video went viral. And this is just one sexual assault—one of many crimes—that’s happened in Manipur since May. The perpetrators in other cases are roaming free because there is no video to shame the authorities into pursuing them.

"The video that went viral is just the tip of the iceberg,” says TS Haokip, president of the Kuki-Zo Intellectual Council, an NGO formed by Kuki writers and teachers. “It is one case in which the state has acted because it went viral and caused a great deal of embarrassment to the state. But what about other victims who have suffered in obscurity?"

Indian authorities say that internet shutdowns like Manipur are done to preserve the peace, to stop misinformation spreading online and reassert control. Experts say they have the opposite effect. They allow impunity for crimes and for those who fail to pursue them. Had locals in Manipur been able to draw attention to the situation as it got out of control, the anarchy that followed might have been avoided. But the silence over the state meant the national government could feign ignorance. Human rights groups said they couldn’t collect evidence of violations or distribute them to colleagues overseas.

The blackouts cause further disruption to an economy made fragile by the violence, and hinder aid groups as they try to collect funds for relief work.

Young Vaiphei Association, a nonprofit organization, operates five relief camps in Churachandpur district, housing 5,000 people. Lainzalal Vaiphei, convener of the relief committee, says they’ve had to raise funds door-to-door. “But because the state is in a limbo, people have suffered economically as well. They don’t have money to donate.” Had the internet been operational in Manipur, the organization could have tapped donors from outside the state through social media, and raised money for medicines. “We are barely managing our resources,” Vaiphei says.

In such a volatile atmosphere, shutting down communications doesn't stop misinformation. Rumors always spread fast in conflicts; blacking out the internet often just means that there’s no way to verify whether the accounts that are spreading them are genuine.

“The disinformation still spreads but it is not being countered,” says Raman Jit Singh Chima, Asia policy director at Access Now. Most fact-checkers are independent journalists or operate in small newsrooms. Even if they can fact-check a doctored video or a false claim, they have no way to spread their work widely.

This can help fuel violence, creating monopolies on information and allowing more extreme voices to dominate. “Shutdowns like these actually benefit the perpetrators in a conflict situation,” Chima says. “Whoever is more powerful or networked on the ground gets to set the narrative.”

As the two women in the July 4 video were paraded around the village, the inebriated men around them shouted, “We will do to you what your men did to our women.” The men claimed to be “avenging” a Meitei woman who had been allegedly raped and killed in the Kuki-dominated district of Churachandpur. A photograph claiming to be of her dead body wrapped in a plastic bag had made the rounds in Manipur. Except the woman in the photograph was from Delhi. The story was a fabrication.

The violence in Manipur has ruptured communities and left families with no way back to their old lives. For Neng Ja Hoi, a relief camp in K Salbung of Churachandpur district is now her home. On May 3, her husband, Seh Kho Haokipgen, was lynched while guarding their village of K Phaijang. Violence broke out and the police fired teargas. “He fell down during the commotion,” says Neng. “He somehow managed to get up but his vision was blurred because of the teargas. He ran for his life but he ran toward the Meitei mob, which beat him to death.”

Neng hasn’t really come to terms with her husband’s passing. “He was a religious pastor, and he traveled quite a bit for work,” she says, cradling her 11-month old baby, tears rolling down her face. “I tell myself he is still on one of his long religious journeys. He was the sole breadwinner of the house. How will I look after my kids?”

She sleeps in a tent in a small room with her three children. Her few possessions are crammed on a bench nearby. “I grabbed whatever I could from our house and ran with the kids,” she says. “They will grow up here.”

The warring sides have drawn something akin to battle lines in Manipur. Abandoned homes, charred vehicles, and scorched shops line the borders between communities. Both groups have set up bunkers in deserted villages. The only people here are volunteers from “village defense forces” with guns, guarding the territory from people who used to be their neighbors. The military is deployed in the buffer zone. Venturing into enemy territory is a death sentence.

That is exactly why Joshua Hangshing didn’t get in the ambulance with his son Tonsing. He is a Kuki. If he had accompanied his son to Imphal, there was no chance the two would have survived. But a hospital in a Kuki area was two hours away. With a bullet in his head, Tonsing had to be taken to the nearest possible facility. Hangshing’s wife, Meena, was a Meitei Christian. Even though she belonged to the minority among the majority Hindu Meiteis, the couple thought her presence in the ambulance would keep them safe.

As we talk about the breakdown in trust between communities, Hangshing reminisces about meeting Meena in the mid-2000s. He was working in Imphal, and Meena would pass his office to attend singing classes. “She had a lovely voice,” he says with a wistful smile. For them, it was love at first sight. It didn’t matter that they belonged to different ethnicities. “Her mother was against it initially,” he recalls. “But she came around.”

He has now moved to Kangpokpi Town, away from his village, which is too close to the border with Imphal. He doesn’t think he’ll go back. But he hopes that reconciliation between communities is possible. “If everybody who has suffered starts thinking about revenge, the cycle of violence will never stop,” he says. “The Bible has taught me to forgive.”

On July 25, the state partially lifted the blackout, allowing some fixed-line connections back online—with restrictions. However, most people in the state rely on mobile internet. Apar Gupta, a lawyer and founder of the campaign group the Internet Freedom Foundation, said the changes only benefit a “tiny” number of privileged people. “It is my firm belief the internet shutdown is to serve state interests in avoiding accountability and contouring the media ecology than any evidentiary law and order objective," Gupta tweeted. Manipur is still mostly in the dark. And while the violence has subsided as both sides stay within their territory, it hasn’t died out completely. In the border zones, shots still ring out. It’s still smoldering, and could burst back into flames at any time.

“In his stimulating book Fixing Broken Britain, Alun Drake of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg notes how “unlike Norway and most other European democracies, in the 1980s, the UK sold off its nationalised industries, raising billions of pounds for the exchequer but losing control of key utilities such as water, gas, electricity and telecoms. Ironically, many are now in the hands of state-owned enterprises from other countries.””

This is not how it is supposed to be.

#Zillow invented this bullshit. Same with determining the price of a house based on the other houses in the area. It would be illegal if every telecom decided to raise the price of services 20% every year together, but houses? shelter?

On Catherine Austin Fitts’ April 16, 2025, briefing:

She opens by defining a “digital control grid”: an AI-driven web of telecom, IDs, and programmable money that can monitor every movement, ration electricity, water, food and travel, and collapse markets into a centrally managed technocracy. Her question is whether the second Trump administration is putting that grid in place, and she answers with a detailed checklist.

First, money. Congress is pushing the GENIUS Act to lay the plumbing for a private, programmable stable-coin—basically a stealth CBDC. The White House even created an “AI & Crypto Czar,” and the new SEC chair is a former crypto lobbyist, signalling a pivot toward pro-crypto rules. Meanwhile the notorious $21 trillion in “undocumentable adjustments” at DoD and HUD still isn’t being hunted down, FASAB 56 still keeps federal ledgers dark, and nobody is talking about issuing debt-free Treasury money even though more than half of federal monthly outlays are borrowed through the New York Fed’s primary dealers. Community banking? The number of U.S. banks keeps shrinking, no one is planting new state banks, and a hinted-at FDIC “re-engineering” could centralize things further. Trump signed an executive order trumpeting “American leadership in digital financial technology.” It bans a Federal Reserve CBDC with one hand but fast-tracks stable-coins with the other. Cash is being squeezed too: minting pennies is over, and another order ends all federal checks and money orders—it’s digital payments only.

Next, digital identity. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is marketing REAL ID as if you’ll be grounded without it—though any federal ID, including a passport, still works. TSA is rolling out facial recognition so aggressively that opting out is inconsistent, and commercial truckers now face Idemia biometrics. Many expect REAL ID to morph into a social-credit gate for federal benefits.

Data and AI form the backbone. Elon Musk’s DOGE program—Digitization Of Government Enterprise—is leaning on Xai and Palantir to privatize agency data. They’ve targeted Social Security, the IRS, and Treasury, because those datasets let you blend identity with payments for a turnkey social-credit engine. Staff layoffs at SSA offices are pushing citizens toward ID.me, an offshore identity vendor, and Musk’s savings target quietly slid from two trillion dollars to a mere $150 billion while Starlink Wi-Fi now blankets the White House, raising questions about who can eavesdrop. In parallel, the Stargate LLC project is throwing up enough hyperscale data centers to power a nationwide grid and doubling as the back-end for an “Internet of Bodies” built on personalized mRNA injections. Neuralink’s brain mesh may be redundant; injections alone deliver most of the hardware interface.

On health, the administration still lauds Operation Warp Speed. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called it an “extraordinary accomplishment,” and the CDC page posted in January—and still live in April—keeps pushing updated Covid mRNA boosters, the same tech Moderna described as an “operating system” for the body.

Telecom is being locked in too. A Senate panel advanced a nominee to control the $42 billion rural broadband fund, just as USPS proposed a 7.5 percent postage hike—forever stamps go from seventy-three to seventy-eight cents—making analog communication even less attractive.

Now assets: before the election, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick bragged that U.S. land and minerals are a $500 trillion “balance sheet.” Interior and HUD have created a task force to open federal lands for housing, and HUD Secretary Turner previously cut her teeth on Opportunity Zones, which shelter capital-gains taxes for investors. Simultaneously, an executive order created a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile,” complete with an asset-forfeiture fund; critics call it a get-rich-quick play. There’s also a formal proposal for a U.S. sovereign wealth fund.

Energy is the lifeblood of any AI cloud, and data-center demand is such that Texas alone could need thirty new nuclear plants by 2030. Big Tech is openly hunting its own reactors. Trump’s day-one orders—“Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential,” “Unleashing American Energy,” and a declaration of a national energy emergency—aim to drill, mine, and frack enough fuel for the load.

The fiscal picture is paradoxical. Tariffs might bring in $3.3 trillion over a decade, but extending the 2017 tax cuts adds $4.4 trillion to the debt and another $0.8 trillion in interest, while Senate Republicans float $5.3 trillion more in cuts. The DoD already wants its budget bumped from $893 billion to a cool trillion. Treasury yields have risen, not fallen. Meanwhile the Fed, outside the White House’s purview, keeps rolling out the FedNow instant-payment rail.

Border and domestic surveillance tighten the net. The military is now on the southern line, technology is creeping into ports of entry, and a federal judge okayed an online registry for undocumented immigrants. Employers may soon have to use E-Verify nationwide. The U.S. signed a biometrics deal with Colombia. Police departments like Cincinnati’s are pushing Ring/Axon camera registries that can switch to live feeds during “emergencies.” Election integrity arguments support the SAVE Act, which would tether voter registration to REAL ID and proof of citizenship. Organized crime is surging, yet the administration talks about downsizing the CFPB and the SEC’s cyber-crime unit. Weather warfare, geoengineering with IoB nanoparticles, targeted land grabs, university targeting, and electronic gold schemes all make cameo appearances as ancillary pieces of the same puzzle.

Finally, remember that $21 trillion hole? HUD and DoD are laying off the very people who might know where the bodies are buried, FOIA shop staff among them. Epstein’s files remain sealed even as Cabinet members share social circles with him, and no one will say which officials hold dual passports now that eighteen Inspectors General and the White House ethics officer are gone.

Add it up and every move—currency, identity, data, infrastructure, energy, security—slides another brick into place for a unified, privately steered, AI-run social credit regime. Fitts’ conclusion is blunt: the digital control grid isn’t theoretical; it’s being wired in, fast.

Predictive Maintenance: Using AI-based Tower Asset Tracking Solutions to Forecast and Prevent Failures

In the fast-evolving landscape of telecom infrastructure, tower companies—or TowerCos—are under constant pressure to maintain seamless network availability while optimizing operational costs. With growing infrastructure complexity, aging equipment, and increasing demand from mobile network operators (MNOs), the margin for error has become razor thin. Enter predictive maintenance: a forward-looking, AI-driven approach that is transforming the way tower assets are managed and maintained.

Predictive maintenance is not merely a buzzword in the TowerCo space—it’s becoming a cornerstone of operational excellence and cost control. It represents a seismic shift from reactive and time-based servicing to a data-driven methodology that enables foresight, minimizes downtime, and extends asset life cycles.

Why Towercos Need Predictive Maintenance

Traditionally, Towercos relied on preventive maintenance strategies, guided largely by fixed schedules or past experiences. While this approach was better than a break-fix model, it still left room for inefficiencies—such as over-maintenance or, worse, surprise breakdowns that impacted service quality and revenues.

Towercos live with the ever-present reality that they must keep infrastructure—such as towers, shelters, power systems, and cooling units—in top condition, and do so at the lowest possible cost. Achieving this balance requires smarter, not harder, work. Predictive maintenance empowers Towercos to make maintenance decisions not based on gut feelings or generic schedules, but on solid data like equipment age, performance metrics, usage hours, and real-time anomalies.

According to a study by Analysys Mason, predictive maintenance was expected to be adopted by 86% of tower operators by 2023. The same study highlighted predictive maintenance as one of the top five drivers prompting Towercos to invest in robust data management systems. Clearly, the industry is undergoing a major transformation.

What is Predictive Maintenance?

Predictive maintenance is the application of AI, machine learning, and real-time analytics to anticipate equipment failures before they happen. Unlike preventive maintenance—which is planned regardless of actual equipment condition—predictive strategies leverage massive volumes of historical and real-time data to assess the health of infrastructure and forecast future issues.

This approach significantly reduces unplanned downtime, allows for shorter planned outages, and optimizes maintenance intervals. In doing so, it prevents over-servicing of well-functioning assets and ensures timely intervention for those at risk of failure.

How AI-Powered Tower Asset Tracking Plays a Role

At the heart of predictive maintenance lies an integrated, AI-powered asset tracking system. This system continuously collects and analyzes data from various tower components—such as energy meters, power backups, cooling systems, and more—allowing Towercos to identify patterns, trends, and deviations.

AI and machine learning algorithms are trained on historical performance data, enabling them to spot early signs of wear, inefficiencies, or potential malfunctions. These insights are then translated into actionable alerts for field teams, helping them prioritize and schedule maintenance with pinpoint accuracy.

Key Components and Benefits of Predictive Maintenance in Towercos

1. Centralized Data Infrastructure

Effective predictive maintenance hinges on having a robust centralized data system that can integrate multiple sources of data. A good telecom site management software brings together information from sensors, maintenance logs, power consumption reports, SLA records, and environmental data.

This centralization eliminates silos and creates a “single source of truth,” allowing Towercos to make informed decisions that take into account the complete operational context of each asset.

2. Cross-Functional Data Integration

One of the most powerful aspects of predictive maintenance is its ability to synthesize diverse datasets for a holistic view. Maintenance and fault data can be correlated with power usage and fuel consumption logs. Similarly, contract management documents can be cross-referenced with asset condition and service history to assess whether vendors are meeting performance benchmarks.

This cross-pollination of data allows Towercos to renegotiate SLAs with more authority and ensure better service delivery from third-party contractors.

3. Real-Time Issue Detection

With AI continuously monitoring asset behaviour, the system can instantly detect anomalies—be it a spike in energy consumption, an unusual temperature fluctuation, or a power backup cycling more than usual. These real-time alerts help resolve issues before they escalate, reducing service interruptions and extending the lifespan of key equipment.

4. Enhanced Operational Efficiency

Predictive maintenance not only reduces unexpected downtimes but also streamlines scheduled maintenance. By knowing exactly when and what to service, Towercos can optimize workforce deployment, reduce unnecessary trips to tower sites, and save on both time and operational expenditure.

5. Fraud Detection and Fuel Control

Energy costs, particularly fuel for power backups, form a significant portion of a TowerCo’s operating expenses. AI analytics can detect irregularities in fuel consumption and identify instances of leakage, theft, or misreporting. By highlighting outliers in energy usage patterns, predictive systems enhance transparency and support sustainable cost control.

Overcoming Implementation Challenges

Despite its many benefits, implementing predictive maintenance is not without challenges. It requires an upfront investment in sensors, IoT infrastructure, and AI models. More importantly, the success of such systems depends heavily on data quality and historical records.

To ensure accuracy in predictions, Towercos must make an effort to clean, digitize, and integrate historical records from various departments. Moreover, training field staff and decision-makers to trust and act on AI-driven insights is equally crucial for success.

The Road Ahead: Strategic Implications

As the telecom industry shifts towards more advanced, connected infrastructure, predictive maintenance is poised to become the norm rather than the exception. It will no longer be about simply fixing what’s broken—but about creating intelligent, self-aware systems that adapt and evolve continuously.

Towercos that embrace predictive maintenance will gain a competitive edge in delivering better uptime to MNOs, reducing total cost of ownership, and achieving higher operational agility. Those that delay adoption risk falling behind in a market that demands speed, reliability, and data-driven decision making.

Conclusion

Predictive maintenance, powered by AI-based tower asset tracking, is more than just a technological upgrade—it’s a strategic imperative. It enables Towercos to optimize their operations, reduce risks, and maximize the value of their infrastructure investments.

With a well-implemented system, Towercos can go from reactive firefighting to proactive planning. The future of tower infrastructure lies in intelligent automation, and predictive maintenance is lighting the way.
