Applications
Asset Tracking
Nearly every telecom company has some type of asset data they need to track. Whether it is equipment, cables, utility poles, or tools; everything needs to be tracked.
At Metal Marker, we produce high-quality asset tagging solutions for a wide range of industries, one of which is Telecommunications. Our telecom asset management solutions include serialized number tags, as well as barcode tags.
Serialized Number Tags
Sometimes simple methods are the best methods. If your inventory management solution is to add sequential numbers to your equipment, we can assist with that. We excel at producing serialized number tag solutions. This can include durable embossed tags with raised characters or photo anodized nameplates.
Barcode Tags
Adding a barcode tracking solution to your metal tags and nameplates can open up a new world of functionality for telecom inventory data collection and storage.
We offer tags with any barcode design you request.
The most utilized choices include:
- QR Codes
- UPC Style Barcodes
- Data Matrix Codes
Our barcode tags can be attached to telco equipment and poles to provide any relevant information in real-time. With just a quick scan, workers can have access to all the data they need.
Telecommunication Utility Poles
Telephone and utility poles rely on long-lasting identification for effective asset inventory management and decision-making over the lifecycle of the pole.

Processes
Embossing
Our most common process used in the Telecom industry applications is embossing. This is one of the tried and true methods that nearly every industry relies on.
Industries that face environmental conditions need their parts to be one thing: durable.
The embossing process uses a die set to create a raised design in the metal material. These standout characters are not only easy to read but incredibly durable – able to last for the complete lifecycle of a telco utility pole.
Serialized Embossing
These tags are also perfect for sequential marking. From equipment to utility poles, sometimes the best way to manage your telecom inventory is with serialized numbering.
Our embossed tags can be run in large quantities to provide you with as many numbers in a row as your asset management system may call for.
Need specific number sets? (i.e. 50 sets of 1-100) We can handle that request as well.
Photo Anodization
Another popular process we offer is the photo anodization process. With this unique process, we are able to insert your design between layers of anodized aluminum. This provides the standout appearance and legibility of a printed tag, but with outstanding durability.
These nameplates are rated for 20+ years in outdoor environments. Poles, equipment, and cables all face weathering, wear, and more.
Our photo anodized tags are designed to stay looking great even when exposed to tough working conditions.
