Much of what we envision for the future – from virtual reality experiences to autonomous vehicles – will require much faster, more reliable and more universal internet service. The future of this rapid technological change may not be as distant as some think and will require small cell telecom adaptations.<\/p>\n
The jump from 4G technology is going to be fast. With so much buzz surrounding the roll-out of mobile 5G (fifth-generation) wireless technology<\/a> we can expect speeds as much as 10-100 times faster as well as greater capacity and reliability. But to deploy that advanced technology, a lot of small antennae, referred to as small cell telecom, must be used.<\/p>\n Small cell telecom infrastructure, which is designed to generate less power at faster speeds and lower latency, collects and transmits signals in a short range, requiring collocating cells on other infrastructures. That, in addition to the need for ubiquity, is going to require regulatory streamlining.<\/p>\n Whether attached to buildings, perched atop lampposts, utility poles or traffic signals, small cell telecom deployment will be key to providing coverage and capacity in support of network growth. But, communities must be prepared to face federal, state and local permits, cell sitting application timelines and fees as well as reviews and appeals. For example, the Federal Communication Commission voted in March 2018 to exempt telecom companies from federal historical and environmental reviews for siting 5G small cells.<\/p>\n According to the National Conference of State Legislatures<\/a>, \u201cTwenty state legislatures\u2014Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida,Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Mexico,\u00a0 Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington\u2014have enacted small cell legislation that streamlines regulations to facilitate the deployment of 5G small cells. Additionally Missouri passed legislation and is awaiting the governor\u2019s signature.\u201d<\/p>\n As technology and telecom continues to change at a rapid pace, it\u2019s crucial to work with a telecom engineering provider who has the experience to design cost-effective solutions while adhering to regulations.
