# 5x5 Technologies Inc.

> 5x5 Technologies is a woman-led infrastructure-analytics company that ingests drone-captured imagery of cell towers, bridges and refineries, then rebuilds each one as a precisely scaled 3D digital twin - accurate to roughly a thirty-second of an inch - and layers AI analytics on top so owners can inspect, measure and plan without sending anyone up a 300-foot mast. Its flagship customer, Crown Castle, hired it to digitize a portfolio of 40,000-plus towers.
