How KTL And Cornerstone Are Driving Innovation in Telco
KTL, a leading provider of engineering services in the UK and Ireland, has strengthened its position through a partnership with Cornerstone, a mobile and digital infrastructure provider. This collaboration, which began in late 2023, moves away from traditional client-supplier dynamics and embraces a more innovative and collaborative approach.
“We essentially conduct everything so there's less for the client to be concerned about and everything's clear and concise,” explains Paul Korzeniewski, UK Business and Development Director for KTL. KTL provides end-to-end services across the telecommunications and power industries, offering clients the efficiency of working with a single supplier.
Cornerstone, managing over 15,700 sites nationwide, focuses on innovation in telecoms and sustainability. “One exciting thing about Cornerstone is that they engage with us as a partner and not just a supplier for ideas and ways we can work better,” says Paul. This partnership emphasizes shared innovation, with Cornerstone encouraging KTL to look for innovative solutions. “Cornerstone instruct work to us, but at the same time empower us to look at innovative ways to improve the process,” Paul adds.
Sustainability is a key focus for KTL, having reduced its carbon footprint by over 500 tonnes last year. “We deployed a trial green energy mobile telco site powered by wind turbine, solar panels, and battery backup,” Paul says. AI is also integral to KTL's operations, especially in site surveys, where drone and camera technology with AI reduces manual intervention. “We use drone and camera technology with AI to automatically identify installed equipment, which removes hours of human intervention at the back end of the survey,” Paul concludes.
