5G could require 60 small cells to cover one square mile – meaning U.S. carriers competing to be the first to deliver 5G, need space for 5G small cells fast, and are turning to existing utility infrastructure to fill the gaps. For instance, to encourage 5G deployment in their communities, a major investor-owned utility, in conjunction with various telecom providers and governmental agencies, is changing out standalone street lights to support new wireless technologies across the state. Explore how utilities, cities and telecom providers can work together to achieve mutual benefits through a vertically integrated approach to engineering, permitting, procurement and construction.
